I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (Bengaluru) in Apr 2013
Interview
hiring was through an off campus process . one written test followed by two rounds of interview -1) technical round
2) hr round which was conducted on the phone.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Nothing unexpected. Stressed mostly on the basics of c, microcontrollers, opearting systems and dara structures
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cisco (Ottawa, ON) in Feb 2007
Interview
Referred by friend. Phone call set up the interview. The interview process was very impersonal (a cookie cutter interview consisting of 5 back-to-back technical interviews where the interviewers came with a sheet of set questions.) that was more of solving programming trivia (eg. linked list, ++p or p++, etc)
