Interview
Had virtual onsite interview with Cisco. There were 4 rounds in total, and the experience was very bad. The last interviewer told me to wait as there would be an extra round. I waited online for 90 mins, and no one joined the meeting. I sent email to the manager and did not get any reply. There is no respect from this company, very disappointed.
