I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco in July 2012
Interview
Usually 3-5 rounds of interview, it depends upon the team how many rounds they want, sometimes 2-3 people might interview you in the same round. If you are interning with Cisco, there is a very good chance you might be extended to a full time offer.
They are a bit slow in the interview process, unless and until there is a urgent requirement
They care about your skills, rather than your background. They have a template which they provide and you got to fill that, everyone is provided a unique number. You are instructed not to disclose any of your personal details in the due course of your interview.
The interview process was two rounds. The first round was a behavioral interview. Straightforward questions, like tell me about the most technically challenging project you have worked on. The second round was a system design interview.
