The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cisco in Dec 2007
Interview
The interview process started with the on-campus screening interview. The questions were on data structure and on the projects I was working on. Then they invited me for the second round of on-site interview. The on-site interview took a whole day with three interviews and the lab tour. All interviews were technical questions and usual questions such as reverse the linked link, why do you want to work for Cisco.

3 technical rounds of 35-45 mins each for a 5 years experience JS fullstack.
1. Project currently working on + design patterns employed and resume based questions in details to check the depth.
2. System design interview - asked me to mention an approach to design a microservice for retail client. Followed up by questions on why I've chosen a particular tech stack and questions on how to tackle certain situations in real word on such services (inventory + payments etc).
3. DS based test - question was bit easy.
