I applied through college or university. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Cisco (Bengaluru)
Interview
The first round was a combo of aptitude and coding.
Coding questions were two, one was easy and one was hard. The hard question is what I'll be talking about.
The other two rounds were technical and dealt with both coding questions as well as computer science subjects ranging from OS, CN to DBMS, OOPS
Had a good discussion on all these and stressed on few ML parts too.
Last round was the HR round.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
It was a question where given an expression in a string with parentheses, we must find out the result of that expression and print it out using BODMAS
Input : "7+(8-6)*4"
Output: 15
Got sent OA after applying 2-3 leetcode easy-medium questions. First round was a 15 minute resume rundown with 2 engineers and a object oriented style coding question that asked how to parse and filter data outputted from an API call. Second round was a traditional leetcome medium with technical hiring manager.

I just had the recruiter screen, the questions asked were basic and if you prepare well enough you don't need to worry. It was only over the phone, no zoom call, so it was a little difficult to establish a connection and therefore felt a little like an interrogation.
I interviewed at Cisco (Research Triangle Park, NC)
Interview
Started with a recruiter screen, basic questions, then OA, then a behavioral and technical (language concepts, sorting algorithms, technical background) with option for virtual and in-person. Received offer a week later.
