I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco in Oct 2012
Interview
I submitted my resume to a recruiter at a career event at my school and was told immediately that I should schedule an interview. My interview took place the very next day, and it was a very straightforward process. My recruiter and my interviewer were both very nice and really helpful. Interview consisted of a few brainteasers, some analytical questions, and some personality based. Got an offer in 1.5 weeks.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A few algorithm questions: binary search and merge sort. Some data structures. And resume.
Got sent OA after applying 2-3 leetcode easy-medium questions. First round was a 15 minute resume rundown with 2 engineers and a object oriented style coding question that asked how to parse and filter data outputted from an API call. Second round was a traditional leetcome medium with technical hiring manager.

I just had the recruiter screen, the questions asked were basic and if you prepare well enough you don't need to worry. It was only over the phone, no zoom call, so it was a little difficult to establish a connection and therefore felt a little like an interrogation.
I interviewed at Cisco (Research Triangle Park, NC)
Interview
Started with a recruiter screen, basic questions, then OA, then a behavioral and technical (language concepts, sorting algorithms, technical background) with option for virtual and in-person. Received offer a week later.
