I applied online. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Cisco (Bengaluru) in Jun 2013
Interview
Very length interview process
we were first asked our resumes and the questions went according to the resumes
the questions were a bit tricky and required some amount of problem solving.
There was also a presentation on the company which included the benefits that an individual gets by working with this company.
then there was a coding round where we were supposed to code for quite a few questions which were a bit tricky and lengthy.

No lack of clarity. They would push you to take interviews at odd times and remain silent for weeks and all of a sudden would wake up and then schedule another call.

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cisco (Boxborough, MA) in Aug 2015
Interview
Met one on one with 4 people for about an hour each. Schedule was worked out in advance, so I knew who I'd talk with. Interviewers had clearly read my resume. Asked questions about my actual experience. Answered all of my questions honestly.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Cisco
Interview
No clear process followed. Multiple rounds of interviews, slow decision making. HR is horrible in handling the process to make an offer. There is no clear communication about when and what will be next steps.
