I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cisco (San Jose, CA) in June 2014
Interview
At first the interview was a bit chaotic, it was obvious they were interviewing several candidates for the position at the same time, and they didn't have conference rooms booked for the interviews. Once we sat down though, the interviewers were engaging, committed, and asked smart questions. They were clearly rushing from room to room.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The asked questions pertinent to the job description but really wanted detailed, step-by-step answers for how you solved a problem, would tackle a problem, or how you would approach a problem, based on your past experience.
