I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco
Interview
5 round of interviews. The first was HR, Second and Third was technical, then manager and director. The whole process took around 3 weeks. The questions I have been asked could show how much you understand from the technical depth's perspective. But also could catch whether you do have live experience. If you do know what you've done, the interview is not that hard.
