Interview was good with indepth working knowledge on TCP/IP. There were 3 rounds of technical interview. First two were on phone and third one was face to face. All 3 rounds were very good

Was pretty fast turn around due to business need. Recruiter contacted me and got me in touch with the hiring manager who gave me the job description and started the phone screen at the same time. Since I had been preparing, I was ready for the phone screen. Next day a parallel team manager contacted me for an opening in their team (the previous team found a matching candidate the had been interviewing). In the past, another team had done the same, where I was supposed to have a talk with the engineer since I dint seem to be a match and recruiter was confident. But instead of being a 10 minute conversation explaining what the team did he started off the phone screen, for which I wasnt prepared (dint end well). But coming back to the current interview, the phone screen result was out the next day and I went in for an onsite two days later. Had a good engaging 1:1 interviews with 5 engineers. They all over shot their slots and what was supposed to have ended at 12:30pm ended at 1:30 pm without a lunch break. Next week I had a positive result, but the requisition for the position was not approved due to business / budget reasons (dint quite make sense then why interview in the first place). Really appreciated the honesty of the recruiter who kept communication open about any updates. Eventually 3 weeks later things got approved and an offer came through.

Had about 7 rounds of interview Round 1 : Telephonic Round 2 : Telephonic Round 3 : F2F Round 4 : F2F Round 5 : F2F Round 6 : F2F Round 7 : F2F Manager round Then I had HR round which was the most difficult one IMHO :) Had to negotiate to pay better than Cisco.
