I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Cisco (San Jose, CA) in Jan 2016
Interview
Applied through website, got mail to set up phone interview, single round of phone interview, full technical, went over my resume and discussed project details and technical questions about data structures, programming basics( java , python, c, c++). Few network related questions.
I applied through college or university. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (San Diego, CA) in Oct 2015
Interview
Applied through campus recruiting. Got an email asking for an interview on campus few weeks later. Had a one on one with an engineer from the company. Was told I would be notified more later on.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Pretty simple, went over resume, asked a few questions about projects listed on resume
first step of the interview is a phone call with an outsourced HR who reads you the questions and you have to answer them slowly so that he can write your answer to his computer. You can barely hear the interviewer and it makes the interview really unnatural. The interviewer was late of course.
I would prefer to work for another company that does not consider its future employees like meat.
