I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Cisco (Bengaluru) in Jan 2012
Interview
There was a telephonic screening round, after which there were 5 rounds of technial rounds.
All of them are around C programming, data structure, networking , and problem solving.
I would say its neither difficult nor easy. In all the rounds there was a puzzle asked.
And datastructure questions involved linked lists and Trees.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (Netanja) in Feb 2012
Interview
I asked a friend at Cisco to pass on my resume. I got a phone call from a recruiter who asked me some questions about my experience and scheduled a screening interview.
I then came in for a 1 hour interview, all technical questions not too difficult.
That same day I was told I passed and we scheduled a full day on interviews.
The interview day was made up out of 5 one hour interviews each with a different interviewer, one had an additional engineer observing the interview as part of their interview training process.
