I was interviewed with them over four months. During this time, I had three different WebEx/Skype interviews. I am a recent college graduate, and the interview process began in my final semester of university.

The interview process felt like a joke, or at least very easy. This may have been because the position was in IT, not Engineering, although it was an application development role. They take an extremely long time and seem to drag the process out substantially.

My first interview was back in October 2013, and I hadn't even been invited onsite by January 2014. It's too bad because Cisco was a company I always wanted to work for, but the speed of the interview process was a huge turnoff.

I decided to accept a better role at a company that moved faster on me as a candidate. My advice would be to have Cisco maybe as a last resort in the interview process.

Also, the fact that the interviews were so simple may indicate the level of challenge in the work you will be doing if hired. Most technical interviews should at least be somewhat challenging; this one was not at all.
