I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (Pune) in Feb 2010
Interview
HR contact for screening, followed by on site interviews by director of engg, hiring manager, senior engineer, vp of operations, and hr manager. Usually two or more engineers conduct tech interviews followed by manager and director interviews face to face. I was lucky to have only one technical interview since my skill set match was too good and they were on a hiring spree!
