Interviewed Jan 2011 (took 3 months)
It is key to know the basic company numbers, in addition to the basics of the area you are applying to (this is a company that is always in the news all over the world so you need to do your homework in advance). A lot of interviews but people were very easy going, interviews were informal and even fun. The interview process demonstrated that they live up to what they say, since only 1 was in person and 5+ were on the phone or video conference.

Interviewed May 2011 in San Jose, CA (took a day)
Very professional interview. The questions asked were straightforward and a decision was made very quickly. Since Cisco needed this position pretty badly, they introduced me to the platform and that was that.

Interviewed May 2011 (took 2 weeks)
Put in a lot of time on the phone with no answer to the interview or follow up. They just went dark. Thought after all my personal/work time with interview on phone they would at least send me a dear John e-mail or something. They put you through a gruling interview with a million questions that you repeat over and over with at least 5 different people just to never hear from them again. Then I found out that there were a lot of layoffs. Don't know what happened. *Strange*

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) (took 1+ week)
Cisco is on of best places to work and I was interwied by four managers from diffente sectors. They asked me about my experience, background and expectation about the work.
Most of iterviews were made using telepresence, Cisco word for teleconference; all the managers where very polite and even everybody being on tight schedules and different timelines, they never got late to the interview me.
All the scheduling for the intervies was arranged one week before and the asked my my "ok" to the interview schedule beforehand.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in San Jose, CA (took a day)
The recruiter called me for a position that was very detailed that needed a finance person with marketing skills. I did have some of the skill sets. Finally, after 2 weeks, she got the manager to talk to me via the phone.
I was called in for a group interview and meet with different folks face-to-face. However, the hiring mgr did not show up. Heard that there were many candidates for the position and he did not have the time. I felt deflated. Did not hear back for 2 weeks after that, not until I requested feedback. The position had been filled.
