I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (Ann Arbor, MI) in Oct 2015
Interview
On campus interview.
First 20 minutes is behavior interview, discussing with a HR.
Second part is also 20 minutes and about technical questions, discussing with a manager. But I mainly talked about my projects and internship experiences on my resume and finally the manager briefly introduced some background of this job (Supply Chain). Unfortunately, it was not quite matched with my study.
Later I received a email
