I applied through college or university. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Cisco (Pune) in May 2023
Interview
It was fine up to first round but from second round it was not very good as the interviewer was doing his own work and was not concentrating on me. Dose not feel good to be taken lightly even if you are a fresher.

They care about your skills, rather than your background. They have a template which they provide and you got to fill that, everyone is provided a unique number. You are instructed not to disclose any of your personal details in the due course of your interview.
The interview process was two rounds. The first round was a behavioral interview. Straightforward questions, like tell me about the most technically challenging project you have worked on. The second round was a system design interview.
