J'ai postulé via un recruteur. J'ai passé un entretien chez Cisco (Richardson, TX)
Entretien
I was contacted by Cisco HR/Recruiter. He indicated it was a well established team that was looking to add someone who could provide a fresh perspective on the product and business. The call went well and I agreed to an interview with a teammate the next day.
The interviewer was 11 minutes late to a virtual video interview. He had the attitude that I was lucky to be interviewing. During the initial 10 mins that we discussed my background he kept looking at his second monitor. He asked me why I wanted this position, but since I did not directly apply, I asked him to tell me more about the product and the business goals. At that point he said, something has come up, I have to go. It was pretty disrespectful.
I don't think I will pick up the phone for Cisco again.
