I applied through other source. I interviewed at Cisco (Portland, OR) in Nov 2011
Interview
I met a recruiter at Grace Hopper, had a mostly non-technical interview, asked me about my skills and experience on my resume (This was for the summer between Sophomore and Junior year.)
I then applied online and was accepted without any further interviews.
They only gave me a week to decide whether or not to accept.
They asked mostly behavioral questions, with one fairly easy technical. As long as I explained my answer to the technical question, it seemed to make them happy. They would make the interview feel more like a conversation. Overall, very friendly interviewer and process.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Cisco (Mountain View, CA) in Aug 2024
Interview
Had an OA, then a recruiter screen, then first round interview mostly in JavaScript. Asked around 10 conceptual questions, then two live coding questions, I would say both were mediums or tougher easy level.
