I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Cisco (Milpitas, CA) in Feb 2016
Interview
Interviewed with an online coding test. Interviewed by phone with technical questions. Then interviewed onsite by 3 developers.
It took a long time to hear back about the offer. Over a month in fact. This was out of the control of the recruiter and the company so I can't complain but it certainly wasn't a good experience waiting that long. The actual interview experience was great. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. No arrogance at all compared to other companies / interviews.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (Bengaluru) in Aug 2016
