      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco

      Interview

      I was referred by a friend, who loves it here. I was contacted by HR person who set up a 30 minute informational phone interview. She was informative and also gave me a sense of what the next steps were. Next I had a 40 minute phone interview with a Director. That went well so was invited in for a 2 hour interview with 4 people who each covered a specific topic for 30 minutes each (Channel, sales process, networking, and training.
