Interviewed Feb 2009 in Bangalore (India) (took 2 days)
It is rigorous and pain stacking. They ask us networkin questions and are too tough on them. So make sure that you know TCP/IP well enough and other networking fundas well enough before going for the interview at CISCO!
Then they also ask a bit of mathematics related questions based on probability!
