      Legal Counsel Interview

      Dec 5, 2023
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Cisco

      Interview

      After applying, I was invited to a 15-minute phone screen with HR but only after submitting detailed written responses to their "prescreen form." I actually withdrew from the interview process after the phone screen because the recruiter was so off-putting, leaving me with an icky feeling of being interrogated and disrespected. I felt compelled to leave this review because I noticed that a prior legal counsel interviewee also had a negative experience with a Cisco legal recruiter and I'm certain based on that review that it must be the same woman who interviewed me. I have interviewed with various companies large and small over the years and have NEVER experienced someone like this in HR... it's really shocking that a company like Cisco would have this. I strongly suggest someone at the company look into this further. I was a little on the fence about the position to be begin with because it would likely require a relocation, but it still says a lot that I withdrew my application because the recruiter gave me bad vibes about the company. Top candidates have choices about where to work and I know that I for one would be very hesitant about applying to Cisco again based on my experience.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Why did you leave your last position? What motivates you? Why are you interested in Cisco? What would you consider to be your areas of strength and what are some areas you'd like to improve?

      Application

      A few interviews with legal and potentially business folks working in the area you will support. There might be a set template of questions, but it is overall a pretty laid back process.
