I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cisco in Oct 2010
Interview
The Interview was for Software Internship in Cisco.
It consisted of a HR and a technical interview.
The HR guy asked a lot of normal HR questions like tell me about yourself, give situation where you displayed leadership and self-driven attitude, given a chance what would you like to do better etc which I did well. But the technical guy was not prepared for me as I was last minute addition to interviews on that day on campus. He wanted people with OS, Algos and DS coursework or atleast projects
