Your interviewer wants to ensure that your description of an ideal boss aligns with Cisco's culture, which strives to be diverse, inclusive, and team-oriented.

"I've been lucky to have had great supervisors in previous roles and my current job. I tend to work best in a team environment with regular communication with my coworkers and supervisor. An ideal boss makes expectations clear and checks in regularly but also gives me enough leeway to operate independently on certain projects. That being said, I'm pretty flexible as a worker and can adjust to various management styles."

"My ideal boss is someone who values team input and does not rely strictly on a top-down approach to decisions. My current boss has been great because she regularly seeks out our opinions and ideas on the direction of projects, which I appreciate. I feel like my input is valued, and I've developed my communication and leadership skills through the regular opportunities she gives us to contribute in a meaningful way."
