I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (San Jose, CA) in Mar 2010
Interview
The hiring in Cisco is pretty smooth, took about 2 weeks from the interview to offer letter. The HR and the Engineering Manager where very proactive in following up and making sure the candidate can start as quickly as possible. The interview process was quite good and lasted for 3:30 hours talking to 5 people and grueling technical interview.
