I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Cisco (Shenzhen, Guangdong) in Jun 2011
Interview
HR phone interview, several hiring managers F2F interview, peers call interview from different countries, next level manager F2F interview
A very long interview process, and so many interviews with different persons
No response with the result
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Cisco
Interview
3 Phone interviews lasting 30 mins each. I was a college grad so not much technical knowledge needed. Just casual conversation really. Not nearly as bad as I was expecting in regards to asking supply chain/logistics type questions. I think Cisco emphasizes a lot on their core values. Team work, positive attitude...etc! I met with HR, then a manager, then a directer via phone. I was across the country as well and they were very accommodating of my schedule.

I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cisco (Bengaluru) in Jul 2016
Interview
Very badly organized. They came to our campus and shortlisted 200+ students for the interview process. They couldn't handle the crowd at all. My interview was at 6pm and they found their necessary candidates by 12:30pm itself. They just took an interview for the heck of it
They asked my favorite field in electronics( i replied digital) they asked the difference between sram and dram and continued asking difficult analog device questions
