I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (San Jose, CA)
Interview
Came in through the 2007 choice program. Met a recruiter at university, had a 1:1 interview, then was scheduled to come on-site to interview with 3 engineers. The questions were very easy probably because they wanted to get younger people into the company.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cisco (Bengaluru) in Oct 2011
Interview
There are mainly 4-5 rounds of technical interview. Mostly related to the current role and past roles.
Operating Systems and Programming Technique is mostly tested. Very less scope of questions related to optimisation or puzzle programs. A bit of data structure and algorithms are also asked. Negotiation is a key thing in getting best offer. Please be sure to which band you are interviewed for. Its a common trend hiring people in lower band .
