I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cisco (Morrisville, NC) in Jun 2015
Interview
Very much like boarding a Southwest flight. It was like a cattle call. Zero chance to get a feel of the company style and atmosphere. They paraded you through the entire sales floor several times, as if you were a zoo animal. The entire process was very staged and not very interviewee-friendly. The people that you met with 1 on 1 seemed disinterested in the process as well. As if they would have rather been anywhere else than talking to you.

Interview
I had what I thought was a great interview with a woman from HR. She was having some computer and phone problems which was no issue but she had to call me back a couple of times after the call kept dropping.
She said I was referred by the hiring manager who saw my resume and wanted to schedule another interview with him for the following week. I agreed and she promised she would call me back on that Friday to schedule.
I never heard back from her. I sent emails to her and was completely ghosted.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco in Dec 2020
