I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Cisco (Toronto, ON) in Jan 2020
Interview
Only 2 people showed up for the in-person interview (instead of 5, as originally planned) but they were very pleasant. I ended up speaking with 2 Executive Assistants, but unfortunately did not meet the 2 VP’s who were looking for an Executive Assistant. It would’ve been much better if I had a chance to meet those 2 people as they were decision makers on this case.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (Singapur) in Mar 2019
Interview
Went through 4 rounds of interviews. 1st round was with Recruiter then Direct Reports, and lastly 2 rounds of interview with hiring manager. Interview process took almost 3 weeks as hiring manager was travelling.
