The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cisco (Milpitas, CA) in Dec 2009
Interview
School Job Fair: talked to the recruiter, discussed previous work experience and asked him to pass along my resume to be considered for interview
1st interview: On campus interview after the job fair. It was a 30 minute screening interview.
2nd round interviews: On Cisco campus in San Jose. All people interviewing for choice went through three back to back interviews with hiring managers. Each interview was approximately 30 minutes. Most questions were question-answer type questions rather than coding problems. More emphasis was put on discussing previous work experience.

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cisco (Jersey City, NJ) in Mar 2010
Interview
They contacted me from Monster and setup the interview via email. Once they call, they asked me many technical java questions that I easily answered. They asked me about messaging, classes, recursion, data structures, sql, transactions, hash maps, interfaces, then they sent me an exercise that I had to answer within one hour. The exercises where rather simple, and they asked to write real compilable code
