I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Cisco (Lawrenceville, GA) in Jun 2012
Interview
Applied online through their career site. Got a response from a HR rep. Initially a phone screening and then an on-site interview via Tele-presence with 3 of the managers in San Jose.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They were looking for very specific job experience which I didn't have in the area of Finance. The managers were mostly very conversational asking about career path and why I would be interested in the position.
