      I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Cisco (Los Angeles, CA) in Oct 2017

      Elevator pitch shortlist followed by an hour of interviews. It wasn't very difficult and tested the fundamentals, background did help a lot in addition to having a good profile. It wasn't a tedious process and hopefully it will be a positive response.

      Application

      I interviewed at Cisco (Richardson, TX)

      Interview

      They asked me to solve 2-sum and then 4 interviews just about my experience with technical questions. It was basically pretty straightforward, just like any interview. It wasn't extremely technical, but I think the process depends on which team you are interviewing for.
