I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Cisco (San Jose, CA) in Dec 2017
Interview
Interviewer asked me about my background and skills. After she hired me for a contract role, she kept asking personal questions. She seemed to want to compete with me. You would think a Harvard MBA would know better than to ask personal questions. She was from Singapore -- but she should still follow laws in the USA.
