I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Cisco (San Jose, CA) in Jan 2017
Interview
Easy interview, no crazy questions like what you'd imagine in Silicon Valley. Pretty straight forward process what you'd think an older company culture to be like. Met with people from different teams and hiring manager and SVP. Lots of remote interviews, all via video conference call except 2 in persons near the final stages.

Very good process... in depth and met with several leaders and project team members. Good experience, and the team was reall welcoming. Highly recommend as a place to work and build a career.
Interview with Cisco was nice and human. HR was really good at their job, quite pleasant. All important informations were handed out upfront and I felt like the process will not be too long.
