I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cisco in Dec 2011
Interview
Set-up through school. Met on-campus in the career center. Person seemed very disinterested and held himself above everyone else. After a 45 min write test went to some questions on resume which he had to take a min to read in the first place. After some easy personal questions the interview was over. Looking for me to take school off my spring quarter which wouldn't allow me to graduate on time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Very in depth questions on op-amps, electrical circuits and basic knowledge.
Asked about previous positions worked for
No trick questions like "describe a time..."
In the email I received, it was mentioned that the initial step involves filling out a brief questionnaire. This questionnaire covers aspects such as personal background requirements, compensation review, and technical background.
