I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cisco in Dec 2011
Interview
Talked a little about myself and current projects.
He then asked me to code up factorial. I did it recursively, he then asked me to do it iteratively.
I coded it up perfect, and he said that was all the coding i needed to do.
Not sure why they didnt ask me harder questions, especially since i did it perfectly and didnt get an offer. I was one of the first interviews of the day, so i think he may have under estimated the level or interviews he was giving or something.
