I passed the initial screening interview and got the opportunity for the big onsite interview - a series of 3 interviews. I did a good amount of preparation. During each interview, I was interviewed by two different people, and what I noticed was that in each pair of interviewers there was always a representative of one South Asian country (always the same country) and another person who didn't belong to that nationality. In every interview, the interviewer that belonged to this nationality was ALWAYS the bad cop during the interview - they were asking extremely difficult and convoluted questions which you would not normally expect to deal with at a regular job, and the manner in which they were talking to me was not always nice and polite - which put additional pressure and stress on me during the interview. The other interviewer who didn't belong to this nationality was ALWAYS the good cop, they were more polite, more calm, and their questions were more reasonable. During my conversation with the recruiter after all the interviews, I realized that the feedback that the employees belonging to this one nationality were making about me was mostly negative, and on several occasions I noticed that it was negative for no good reason - it was like they were inventing negative stuff about me. My fourth interview was with the hiring manager who also belonged to this one nationality - so the majority of my interviewers for this role were from that one country (but the live in the US now). I have a big question: Dear Cisco! I understand that you would like to promote diversity. But this isn't even close to it! I believe that everyone should be evaluated fairly without inventing artificially created negative comments. Also, this group at Cisco is using a lot of statistical machine learning in their work, but they seem to violate the very basic rules of statistics - when you sample new data points from a large population (hiring new employees from a pool of all employees on the market), then if your existing employees who conduct the interviews belong to one separate group of people and are very strict to other people who don't belong to that group - then the selection of your new employees will be VERY BIASED. This is not diversity, this the opposite of diversity. I have never felt treated with so much bias before as when interviewing to this role.
