I applied online. I interviewed at Cisco (Astana) in Oct 2015
Interview
It was WebEx interview. I have difficulties with audio, there was to many noise. Because, of that it was difficult to concentrate. However, the chat was helpful to write the questions if you do not heard the questions. At the end of the interview interviewer gave useful feedback. Hope this will help.

HR was quick to follow up with the next steps, questions were very different by interviewers. Very technical questions with problem solving experience, things you can answer easily if you actually have enough experience

Interview
The interview process typically consists of several stages, depending on the company and role. Here’s a general breakdown:
Application & Screening – The company reviews your application, resume, and cover letter to determine if you meet the basic qualifications.
Phone or Video Interview – An initial conversation (often with HR or a recruiter) to discuss your experience, skills, and interest in the role.
Technical/Skills Assessment (if applicable) – Some positions may require a test or project to assess your technical skills or problem-solving abilities.
First-Round Interview – This is usually with a hiring manager or team member to dive deeper into your background, experience, and suitability for the role.
Final Interview(s) – Often with senior leadership, team members, or a panel to evaluate your fit within the company culture and alignment with company goals.
