I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cisco (Austin, TX)
Interview
Cisco held an information session on campus at UT and reviewed CV/resumes to choose who they would interview the next day.
Back to back interviews were held with two different engineers.
A few weeks later one of the recruiters called to tell me an offer would be extended to me.

The interview process was two rounds. The first round was a behavioral interview. Straightforward questions, like tell me about the most technically challenging project you have worked on. The second round was a system design interview.
