I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Cisco
Interview
I spoke with Cisco recruiter at my university's career fair and really hit it off with her. We spoke in-depth about my resume for a good 20 minutes and about 3 weeks later, I got an e-mail about a screening interview. The screening interview was quick and painless, asking basic questions about work eligibility and a few behavioral questions. After that came a behavioral interview with one of the IT managers at Cisco, and it was a very laid back conversational interview. Received an offer about 4 days after the second interview, and the entire process took about a month and a half.

I applied through other source. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Cisco in Jan 2017
Interview
The Interview process was pretty straight forward. I received an email from the IT director and was invited to apply for a position. I applied and a few weeks later was given an interview date, it was the holidays so my interview date was after the holidays. I interview over their webex conferencing. Interview went well and I was told to look out for something from HR. Needless to say it's now been over 2 months and I haven't heard back from them. A little disappointed, I was really looking forward to showcase my skills for them.
Note: I only gave a negative experience due to the lack of contact post interview, a courtesy would have been to send a we are looking at another candidate or something of the sort.
