I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (San Jose, CA)
Interview
Three interviews, each was 60 min long. One was with a fellow SE. Other two with AMs.
SE was busy with his work,showed up 10 mins late. He seemed pretty busy. AMs were very personable and gave good advise on lot of things.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (San Jose, CA) in Jan 2015
Interview
Very technical interviews with various members of the engineering staff. You really need to know your stuff before showing up. They often have several engineers interview you at the same time throwing questions at you rapid fire to see how you handle the pressure. Never ever go to lunch with them since it's just more of the same all through lunch :-)
Course once you're part of the team you then get to do the same to other interviewers :-)
