I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Cisco (Feltham, England) in Nov 2014
Interview
5 interactive interviews to go through competency, the interview process was a bit chaotic as the recruiter was not co-coordinating well with the interviewers. At one stage of the interview the interviewer phoned me directly to ask me were I was - and I had to explain that the time had been changed.
