I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cisco in Oct 2010
Interview
Test was simple and they shortlisted around 100 people. 30 for CDO and 70 for TAC..
Interviewers were bored since they had to conduct 30 interviews and i felt they did not conduct the last few in a proper manner. They had probably decided their candidates after the first few interviews itself.
