      Chicago, IL
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Cisco (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2020

      Straightforward. No ridiculous questions. Most interviewers were seasoned sales pros, and even those that weren't were knowledgeable on the sales process, the market and the day-to-day challenges in the field.

      Question 1

      Do you mind regular travel to other sales offices?
