I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (Galway) in Nov 2013
Interview
Stage 1 included a brief phone interview, that was not any way technical. The interviewer just scanned through my CV, and I discussed each and every topic on it. It was quite enjoyable.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Store a word in a string, and then reverse it and add that newly reversed word to a new string.
- 3 rounds of interviews. The first-round coding was a challenge, second round was a phone call with the recruiter, third round with folks from the team. Overall good interview, very understanding team. They new I was new at interviews and were looking for potential and interest.

Question 1
They asked about my projects and how it can apply to their job.
It wasn't bad. The questions were fairly easy and the time given was generous. The first part involves an online interview where they ask the programming questions followed then by some technical and behavioral questions.
I applied online and didn't hear back for a few months, got an update in December to check if I was still interested in the position. Interviewed in February, it was a Webex interview of forty-five minutes.
