I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Cisco (San Jose, CA) in Jan 2015
Interview
There were two webex interviews on the computer and that was it. Didn't know that I got the job until late March. A pretty slow process overall. Almost everyone that got a job offer knew someone at cisco, so that seems to be a key factor. Overall, the interviewers were nice, but one of mine didn't seem that interested.
It was pretty generic, they asked a lot about times id worked in a team, asked about my technical background. Helps to know about their tech, maybe skim the ccna
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
One time i worked in a team with unhelpful colleagues
1. video-based interview
2. quick HR call
3. Role-play
Overall the process is good, you have to be confident and prepare the visual presentation with the structure and mainly - asking the right questions for identifying the best solution
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Cisco (Amsterdam)
Interview
It was good but very lengthy. I had 6 interviews and the process took a long time. Many different stakeholders. Last interview was a panel interview with role play which lasted about an hour
