Interviewed Oct 2010 (took 2 months)
Phone interview with human resources around key bullet points in job description. Followed three weeks later by phone interview with hiring manager. The questions were about my experience and expertise as related to the responsibilities of the role as outlined in the job description. There were no behaviorial interview questions. I followed up a few weeks later with the hiring manager and learned he was considering an internal candidate. I sent him two follow up emails indicating why I was a better candidate than the internal candidate but I received no response. The position was eventually taken down from the company website.

Interviewed Oct 2010 (took 2 weeks)
I was initially contacted by a Cisco recruiter.
Good conversation. He explained how he thought I was a good fit for the job. Good rapport. I felt motivated to go to the next level .
The interview with the hiring manager was Ok, but did not result in a next step.
Looks like the job description was different from what he really wanted ( a salesperson ).
I guess is another example of where a hiring manager just don't take the time to explain to the HR personnel what they really want.
Either that , or he already had somebody in mind for the job.

I would say the process is a little long. Part of it is the tax of a large company where there is a dedicated recruiter for each position and oftentimes, they do not coordinate well with the hiring manager. Cisco was going through a hiring freeze for a while so that made the process start and stop several times. Advice is to get in direct contact with the hiring manager because relying of the recruiter is not the most effective.

Limited negotiation (given the economic conditions)... but definitely, everything is up for negotiation.
