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.

They care about your skills, rather than your background. They have a template which they provide and you got to fill that, everyone is provided a unique number. You are instructed not to disclose any of your personal details in the due course of your interview.
The interview process was two rounds. The first round was a behavioral interview. Straightforward questions, like tell me about the most technically challenging project you have worked on. The second round was a system design interview.
