First there was a phone interview, which was pretty standard. Questions included: Why are you interested in Cisco? What is the CEO's name? What makes you a good fit for the ASR program? An interesting aspect of the phone interview was being told to "pitch" the interviewer on something/anything that you're passionate about. This was around March Madness so I chose the college basketball tournament fever. Made it to the next round. The in-person interview process was the most intense I've experience. Create a powerpoint presentation for a ten minute presentation to a group of up to 5 people. Pitch a panel of 3 people on using a product of theirs. Then interview with 3 people who ask you the personal/behavioral questions (If you could have any superpower, what would it be?). They responded via e-mail 2 weeks later (literally the last day that they said they might respond).
