I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (San Jose, CA) in May 2012
Interview
It was really cool how they did some things and other things. However, it doesn't seem like they like how they like. Sometimes I feel like they don't see me. The overall experience was insane.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cisco (Chandigarh) in Aug 2012
Interview
2-3 technical Interviews, 1 HR round. Interviewers were very friendly and comforting and dont let you feel nervous.
First they gave presentations about working at Cisco and how can it be a career boost.
Then we had our first interview round where some general questions about algorithm design were asked.
Second interview was more about networking and its fundamentals, and some puzzles, which i was notable to solve.
Usually people were having only two interviews, but i was the only one who had three interviews, where they asked me questons about graphs.
Fourth was HR round, where he asked me general questions about working there at cisco.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
even-though graph theory was to be taught in a course which was supposed to be studied after the interview process, but still they asked me to design djikstra's algo.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (London, England) in Feb 2014
Interview
I was interviewed by the hiring manager. The interview was carried on online and lasted about 30 minutes. The manager was an experienced software engineer that checked mostly the kind of person I was since he was already working with a former university colleague of mine.
