I was referred by my supervisor in graduate school to the engineering manager of the Cisco team I was applying for. Then I went to the company and had a chat with the engineering manage to get to know each a little bit. A few days later, I got an onsite interview. I was asked something about my resume, a few design questions and two easy coding questions. Everything went smooth. I got an offer the next day.
