I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cisco (Bengaluru) in Apr 2015
Interview
There were 4 rounds of technical interview and after that went fine, I had 1 interview by director/hiring manager. Thereafter, the HR conducted a telephonic interview to find what I thought of cisco. There was a temporary hiring freeze for 2-3 months during which the CEO changed and after that was lifted, I had 1 interview with tech lead who explained the nature of immediate work and asked me if I could do that job or if I had done similar work.

Focus too much on networking , linux kernel and CISCO IOS. .................................................................. ............. ..................... ..................... .............................. ..................... ...................

I applied through other source. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Cisco (Research Triangle Park, NC)
Interview
The content of the interview process is not standardized. Interviewing with different groups can be a Hit or Miss match. The need is based upon the hiring group and not our overall fit for the company after your current role is completed. Often esoteric to the groups current issues.
