I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (San Jose, CA) in May 2013
Interview
This was a contract position so I was initially contacted by a recruiter for a typical basic first interview to discuss my resume. The recruiter reached out to me for a position I applied for online. He called me the same day I submitted it.
The hiring manager was very busy so it was still another couple weeks before the next interview was setup. I attended a one-time in person interview with one person I was to work alongside and the other interview was with the hiring manager. Each interview was roughly 30 minutes long.
The first of the 2 interviews included questions mainly revolving around my resume and then he/she asked why I would be a good fit. It was a list of about 10 questions or so. Then he/she gave me the opportunity to ask my own questions. Once complete she sent in the hiring manager.
The questions from the hiring manager were similar... I asked my questions. Then we chatted the rest of the time. It seemed like they were looking for a good personality to match the team.
