I didn't say they were going to interview people, just that I was told that each person would be reviewed separately and given custom offers based on their actual background. Then after being strung along for a month on that lie, I was told that they were going to level based on title instead without looking at the individuals background. As a result Cisco vastly under leveled me in their offer (I was able to get another job at the appropriate level pretty trivially, so it's not like I'm over judging my qualifications here).
