I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cisco (Columbus, OH) in Oct 2012
Interview
I submitted my resume through my college's career services and was contacted for an interview. The interview was held on campus, and I met with one technical person from Cisco. Following the interview, I was contacted the following day for an internship opportunity.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was only a Sophomore, so I was a novice and couldn't really perform the typical interview questions. They ended up taking a project listed on my resume and asked for more details. One of the questions related to this project was "How was my robot able to detect an analog light signal?" Nothing that I didn't know the answer to.
