The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Cisco (San Jose, CA) in Jan 2007
Interview
received a phone call after initial HR filtering. Had the first phone interview with HR. Was invited to the location for a complete interview. The manager had 1:1 with me and showed the working area and explained work requirements. Then there were 2 panel/group interviews with completely technical questions. I then met a few more people and answered some questions.
Was offered the position before I reached home.
The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cisco in Dec 2007
Interview
The interview process started with the on-campus screening interview. The questions were on data structure and on the projects I was working on. Then they invited me for the second round of on-site interview. The on-site interview took a whole day with three interviews and the lab tour. All interviews were technical questions and usual questions such as reverse the linked link, why do you want to work for Cisco.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cisco (San Jose, CA) in Feb 2009
Interview
No respect for any thing you did for the whole time in your career. They started off with C questions and ended with C questions. No one even cared to see what was on the resume. They just asked the questions that they were familiar with. All the C questions were from the web sites. No creativity there. None of them smiled. None of them looked happy either!
