I applied in-person. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Cisco in Nov 2013
Interview
I was interviewed after chatting with a representative at a Career Fair. The interviewer greeted me, looked over my resume, then asked me about my projects. After he saw that I had networking experience, the rest of the interview was focused around networking topics. He included questions pertaining to C, the OSI model, UDP/TCP, and networking hardware.

I applied through college or university. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Cisco (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2016
Interview
Pretty lax setting. I couldn't get an interview scheduled with someone in my city, so I had to interview with someone from the San Jose campus. Not a big issue, since I could still interview in person at my school. Started out with him describing his role, then talking about my resume and experience, and one abstract routing problem.
