I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco in Nov 2010
Interview
The interview process happened over a few days. I had a phone conversation with three different people and from what I understand, they discussed the candidates together and they selected the best person for the job.

Question 1
If you were stranded on a deserted island, what three things would you want to have with you?
Very smooth process, good conversations, timely response, the questions were related to the job, I enjoyed the conversations. I was able to learn a lot about the culture and the job, got to meet the team members.
Insgesamt sehr angenehm und locker. Es fanden mehrere Gespräche kurz aufeinander statt, mit verschiedenen Managern an diversen Standorten. Dauer je ca. 1 Stunde. Inhaltlich alle sehr ähnlich. Man hatte den Eindruck die Fragen wurden abgesprochen. Gespräche waren in Englisch.

I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Cisco (Munich, Bavaria) in Apr 2016
Interview
After a horrible online process I managed to apply. It took 6 weeks before I was contacted after my application. The telephone interview did someone from Ireland. She even didn't now that the office is moving now - and she didn't read my CV properly in advance, asked questions (reporting line, which already was in my CV) three times. Afterwards it took another 8 weeks before I received feedback.
