Process
I applied through their university recruiting team.
I received the interview after speaking to one of the recruiters at a symposium that Cisco had at my school.
I was brought into a room, and the interviewer asked me about myself, then asked about the semantics of the Java language. Finally, he asked me a technical question, and the interview ended.
They still haven't gotten back to me, so I assumed I didn't get the job (I never received a rejection email or call).
