Interviews are tricky because they can range from amazing experiences to downright horror stories. They make most people (even the interviewer) a little nervous, but they are one of the best ways to determine if you are a good fit for the team. This is also the best time to find out if the team is a good fit for you.

Wouldn't it be great if you could have an awesome experience every time? If the interview could be efficient, transparent, and organized? If there was great communication from start to finish?

These are exactly the qualities that people who have interviewed at Cisco use to describe their experience. 84% of candidates had either positive or neutral things to say about their interviews. That's how we earned a spot on Glassdoor's Top 10 Tech Companies for Interview Experience.
