Interviewed Mar 2010 in Milpitas, CA (took 4 weeks)
This is the 3rd time in 2 years I have gone through rounds with Cisco for a Finance position. This time was par for the course. Process lasts over 4 weeks. Round of detailed written information, phone screen with recruiting, phone interview with hiring manager, 2 rounds of at Cisco office 1-1 interviews (2/3 of the day per each). Interviews were fair, nothing earth shattering. Communication throughout the process is the worst. Constantly had to badger recruiting and the hiring manager. Recruiting responded, hiring manager not so much. I was told that I was in the lead for the position. Kept following up repeatedly. Feedback was dismal still. Ultimately I was tired from me having to constantly ask for feedback, so I put it back on Cisco saying essentially contact me when you are ready. Never heard anything from them again. Overall experience I clicked as neutral, but I am really somewhere in between negative & neutral (neutral on the interviews themselves, negative on the communcation or lack thereof).

Interviewed Jan 2008 in Milpitas, CA (took 2 days)
Had couple telephonic conversations about my resume, interests, and to improve my understanding about the position, reporting and the company. Questions on my resume and interests were pretty standard like - What different technologies I have used, Why I wanted to move, What I'm looking forward to work on, My dream job in next 5 yrs, My educational interests etc.
On site interviews were all 1:1 with 4 sr.engineers, 2 dev managers, 1 qa manager, and finally a Sr.Director. Interview was pretty technical and grilling. People were really nice. They were looking at my approach than the exactness of my answers. Their questions were highly adaptive and deeply conceptual.
Interview Questions
What design changes would you suggest to improve the routing-speed?
(After I gave out an answer - )
What else are the alternative ways (Good or Bad) of achieving this? Give the major pros and cons or those approaches.
Something like - A mouse and xxx (maybe tortoise) started running in opposite directions on a 100 mile highway. Mouse made stops for this and that, and some numbers for times-spent. These numbers are some relative to those of tortoise too. The final question is how many times would the mouse have ran each way, before the tortoise completed one round.
Other Details
I got the interview through an Employee Referral and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Presentation, an IQ/Intelligence Test, a Skills Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Jul 2008 in Milpitas, CA (took 4 weeks)
I was approached by a recruiter reviewing resumes online. I was invited to sit with the hiring manager after 2 rounds of phone interviews with several recruiters. I felt as though there was a good match for the position however they must have felt differently.
