I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (Research Triangle Park, NC) in Mar 2014
Interview
I was referred by a friend on the vSAM team. After my resume was given to the appropriate person, I had a phone interview which was followed by an onsite interview - half day process. There were 8 other applicants interviewing at the same time. First up was a role play followed by interviews with six mangers.

Question 1
I found the role play to be the most anxiety-producing portion but it went well. There were no unexpected questions.
There was in total of 4 round of interview. First was a screening round which revolved mostly about your background and how you dealt with some situations. Second round was giving a presentation on one of their architecture. Third round on one on one interview and Final was HR round.

Interview
I had what I thought was a great interview with a woman from HR. She was having some computer and phone problems which was no issue but she had to call me back a couple of times after the call kept dropping.
She said I was referred by the hiring manager who saw my resume and wanted to schedule another interview with him for the following week. I agreed and she promised she would call me back on that Friday to schedule.
I never heard back from her. I sent emails to her and was completely ghosted.
