I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (Urbana, IL) in May 2018
Interview
Really nice people conducting the interview. Straightforward questions and great question flow. Not much questions on company views/personal reasons. 45 min phone call followed by 1 technical interview and another then call for offer.
I applied online, heard back with in a week, initial recruiter screening, manager interview, technical panel interview, then manager interview again. Technical was a mix of fundamentals and a couple of pretty challenging ones to know off the top your head.
Very casual, unorganised interview. Interviewers talked for the majority and had no idea who I was before the interview i.e. didnt review my CV or experience. Any questions seemed very odd the cuff and unrelated to the job in question.
Very thorough and detailed. Expect in depth questions and be ready with reasonings. I did find it difficult at some points but overall i did prepare well. If you remember your past experiences and concepts you won’t find it that much difficult.
