I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (Prague) in Sept 2017
Interview
It went really fast.
First a phone screening, then call with the manager, role-play, interview with a different employee.
HR was informative and always kept you in the loop. Manager was constantly in contact to either get an update or give updates.

Long process. Group interview with a mock sales call followed by one on one interviews. It was unique as we could have all been hired or none of us could have been hired. The interview for a VSAM at Cisco is for a seat on the "sales bench" for when positions open
