The hiring process at Cisco takes an average of 46 days when considering 2 user submitted interviews across all job titles. Candidates applying for CSM had the quickest hiring process (on average 1 day), whereas Intern Field Sales roles had the slowest hiring process (on average 90 days).
Very smooth process with HR supporting in all steps but very technical - about 4-5 rounds of 1 hour each with different folks (and sometimes a panel interview) - sales, pre sales/technical, leadership, peer interview and manager interview. All very respectful but very strict and will gauge your skills in depth
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cisco (Bengaluru)
