There was an initial application process, then a phone interview. The second round interview took the form of a short video conference interview. The interviews were fairly informal and mostly about background experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is your experience in presenting technical information in a non-technical way?
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cisco in Mar 2015
Interview
Well, I repent taking up interview with Cisco. Used to hear that Cisco is a great company to work for, but i did not feel it. Worst University Relations HR. Rude and insensible. The candidate to be selected was kinda fixed, they conducted the written round just for namesake. I was asked to leave (rather rudely) immediately after finishing my offline test. I am sure my paper wasn't even evaluated. And there you go, I travel back home 25 kilometers and then I get a call from someone at Cisco asking me to come back since the candidate which they were planning to hire rejected the offer. And here is the next twist, I receive a call from the same person the next day, asking me not to come since the candidate who rejected the offer has now accepted it. Is this some kinda joke? Nobody would want to be treated that way. It was one horrible mistake to have attended Cisco interview. I would rate 0/5 stars for this company. And yeah, not to forget about the mass layoffs happening at Cisco these days!

Question 1
I was not even considered for the job, even when I deserved it
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (Atlanta, GA) in Feb 2015
Interview
Applied through college, got an intervew in a week or so. Interview consisted of few behavioral questions, few technical questions, and a puzzle-kind of a riddle. Questions weren't too hard. the puzzle was a lot of pressure though. Behavioral questions about effective communication and team-work environment experiences.
