Does Cisco blacklist people who were LR'd from coming back to the company?
Do they blacklist external candidates that interviewed but did not get a job offer?

It’s not 100% up to the manager during departure, the new hiring manager can talk with hr or recruiter to find out the notes and make a decision. Their are a few extremes that truly make a person unhireable
Workday has the same category called "Not eligible for rehire". It really depends on the manager. I had a manager who checked that box even on a top 5% performer who retired. She was absolutely merciless on anyone who resigned or was LR'ed. She was a master at managing people out of the company and made sure they stayed out afterwards.

I'm really surprised my initial manager didn't check that box the first time I was LR'd because he had me on a PIP 2 quarters before a mass LR was announced. This was back when they announced them and how many they impacted several months before the impacted people were notified. That third quarter, my weekly 1-on-1 meetings suddenly became pro-forma and my "goals' became easy/nonexistent instead of progressively more difficult as they had the 2 previous quarters. It was no surprise that, on the first day of the 3 day window for managers to notify impacted workers that I had an 8:30 AM 1-on-1 and that I was LR'd.
I was easily re-hired a year or so later after the 6-month blackout period expired. When that manager had to let me go, he said it was a budgetary issue and not performance related, and I was even put in for the full year-end bonus instead of using it to boost the bonus of employees who survived that round of LR's, so I doubt that he would have checked that box.
I'd love to know what my hiring status is, but I've learned that HR is NOT your friend and I have no idea what sort of notations would get put in my personnel file if I inquired. I do know that Cisco switched back in HR information systems from HRMS to Workday and that people who had not been an employee for more than 12 months would NOT have their data transferred. I'm betting, other than knowing that my userid and employee # exist, they didn't transfer any of the information on my PIP or second role.
That depends on your exit. When you are LR'ed or submit your resignation, there is a category called "no hire back". If your manager checked that box, it will be harder to rejoin Cisco. You can still join as a contractor since you are going through a 3rd party agency. If you are going for a FTE position, the new hiring manager will need to submit a business case for your rehire which will need to be reviewed by HR and at the VP level. It is rare for a No-hire-backs to rejoin the company.
Also, you can make a request to HR for your personnel file after you leave the company. You can pretty much determine from the file if you are a no-hire-back or not.
You have to say "naughty" list because they are a bunch of woke brittle little children.
I blacklist all of you.
No.
LR'd, came back; then left on my own.
Cannonball...comin' back at ya.

Great place but it has changed a whole bunch.
You racist...
There is no such word like that anymore. Maybe rainbow listed? Please resubmit your Q.
FYI, using the term blacklist is a way to get blacklisted.
