I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Cisco (Milpitas, CA) in Mar 2009
Interview
The interview process was pretty normal compared to other companies. Nothing strange that would make candidate think they are just trying to trick me or showing off, I got the feeling that they really want to see if the candidate to delivery software, rather than to see if where the candidate's limit is.
The manager was very friendly.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cisco (Research Triangle Park, NC) in Jan 2009
Interview
I got a call asking me to come in and do an interview. The interview was scheduled for the next day. I did the interview and they said they would call me. The next day I got a call to do another interview thinking it was a continuation of the same group but it was from another manager. I did the interview and the next day I was called by HR asking what I wanted for pay and sign on bonus. I was offered a choice both jobs. I chose the position I wanted and received an offer letter the next day.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
On the board draw a diagram of a system they were interested in.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Cisco in Mar 2011
Interview
scheduled a 45 minute interview through my campus career center. When I received the call, I realized that I could not understand the interviewer very well, so I grabbed some ear phones to make the process smoother. The most difficult part of the interviewer was just making sure that I understood the questions he was asking, so I just repeated them back to make sure that I got them. Started off with basic interview questions, then asked about code understanding and a couple thought process,questions.
