I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (Atlanta, GA) in Jan 2017
Interview
Went to Cisco's "Day in the Lobby" at my University. The recruiter was very pleasant and eager to set up an interview for me. The interview date was set to three weeks after I spoke with the recruiter. The interviewer made me feel very comfortable, but he expected precise answers. Make sure to know the basics of the OSI Model, how the internet works, and routing and switching protocols
