I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (San Jose, CA) in May 2012
Interview
multiple rounds of interview, but generally very friendly people, asked some tough questions on both technical issues and past experience. Overall, they are not very difficult interviews, they are looking more for a personality fit
