I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cisco (Bengaluru) in Apr 2018
Interview
It was for a women returnee program , I met all criteria mentioned in JD but during the interview they expected different set of skill set which was not part of my resume. It looked like that hiring manager made up the mind before the interview process itself
