I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cisco in Feb 2010
Interview
Applied for position online and got a reply in a week's time. HR called me and scheduled 2 phone interviews with 2 senior system engineers. The first interview was average with the tell me about yourself questions. I would say that they were checking if I was fit for the company's culture.
Second interview was more detailed and interviewer was more or less checking for analytical understanding. Some questions required me to use my imagination and understanding of things.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe to me something that is next to you (assuming that i have never seen it) so that I can have a good visual picture of the item.
So far application process has been great. I did a short video introducing myself and then had a 1 hour phone interview. They said it would be a half hour interview but it went well and he kept asking questions. I am flying to Raleigh this week for an all day interview session.

Question 1
Personally, I thought all of the questions were pretty predictable. They want to know what you have done, what you want to do, and how hard you will work. They asked a few generic technical questions like how does a cell phone network work, but nothing to bad. Just relax and you will be fine.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Cisco (Bogotá, Bogota) in Jan 2012
Interview
First. You have to make a 2-min video talking about a cisco´s belive "the networkk is the plataform" then if you pass you get an web-ex interview. They ask you question about the osi model, what is a router, a switch, whats the difference between them, and questions about your personality. The final round is an assessment in your city where you are asked to take an exam, do a presentation, play a role and an interview.
