I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cisco (Sunnyvale, CA) in Oct 2020
Interview
It was very laid back and they asked questions based off of my resume, such as projects I worked on and past internship experience. The interviewer did not dive deep into technical knowledge and described what the process for new grads was at the company.
