I applied through university career job board, and got invited to interview after 11 days. The interview process includes a 45-minute technical phone interview followed by decision to continue with another round of technical interview.

I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Cisco (Austin, TX) in Jun 2010
Interview
Went through a relatively short phone interview, followed up several days later by a series of one on one interviews with 3 different people at the company. Pretty much industry standard stuff. Over the phone it was the usual get to know you and behavioural type questions followed up by technical and riddle type stuff in the one on ones.
