Interview
I met with a Cisco recruiter at a college career fair. I was contacted shortly after (within a week or 2) for an on-campus interview. The interview was about 30-45 minutes long and focused on my past experiences. The interviewer left a lot of time at the end for me to ask questions. I was given the position a few weeks after the interview. Overall, the process was pretty quick and easy. The interviewer was super friendly and had worked at Cisco for quite some time.
