Cisco reviews

Did you get a chance to meet other interns from other groups? How did housing work out? How did you spend your free time after work?

great pay, nice people, nearly all remote

lack of vision from executive leadership, hard to be promoted at mid and senior levels, severe budget constraints, yearly layoffs

work / life balance

They talk the talk about doing the right thing always - and try to be transparent.

Move talent internally where help is needed instead of mindless cuts across the board which don't account for strategic value.

Know my background, research all interviewers

Higher

solid

intellectual challenge and smart people - without those, it becomes boring!

I do this lol.

I was on a contract for a new organization that was constantly making changes. The job I had was dissolved. I have worked for Cisco for 20 years prior. Employee #895

Stressed and overburdened director taking frustrations out on the administrative staff. (in contract role) - but we worked it out.

Being able to work from home (or in the office). I have a lot of friends at that company from when I worked there previously for 20 years.

Great people with a large knowledge of modern marketing and how to best use tools that create valuable pipelines for making money.

Politics. Lots of people focussed on swinging elbows vs getting the work done.

Very Flexible work approach. They favor remote and distance work best practices since they own the Webex brand.

Benefits

Bad culture, tone deep management, favoritism, poor communication

Healthcare

I don't they are beholden to wall street and investors.

My management team was very transparent, easily approachable, extremely supportive, and genuine.

The company itself being so large mad it difficult to implement changes quickly.

Great managers, medical benefits were fantastic, a lot of self education available in their LMS.

Collaborative work environment, Supportive Management

Healthcare benefits, Stock grants

Flexible learning opportunities and exposure

Poor job mobility

Working from home

Business ethics

Competitive nature of field and industry

Friday lunches for all staff

High degree of autonomy and excellent support of remote work. Not to mention the fact that the work is interesting!

Long wait periods for decisions to be made (bureaucratic red tape)

Remote working is very well supported.

It’s a great place to work.

I don’t have the opportunity to advance my career

Work/life balance

Technical Challenges

management was not engaged with contractors

I was a contractor had no benefits

free coffee and opportunity to travel

too many hours and no back up person

Challenging and Innovative Work. Talented and Helpful Colleagues.

H1B Contractors are more valued than American Citizens. Contractors working for 15 plus years, and New Hire from College are laid off during company restructuring.

Working Remotely

new technologies, many challenges, great workplace

unfairness for promotions,

health plan

Great place to grow and learn. Unlimited opportunities for education.

Way too much to learn. It often feels like your trying to drink from a firehose.

Work from home.

Actually not a whole lot. Why innovate when you can buy exciting stuff?

It's too big, the 'solutions' are nailed together at the most basic level as they're bought in, and often not compatible.

Secondment to a customer site.

products and coworkers

politics, LR and layoffs

Restriced Stock Units and medical benefits

Great learning experience. It was my first job. I had great mentors and trainers, and extremely friendly co-workers

Work-Life Balance is great, and so is the events and other benifits

Fast pace technology company, pays good, great benefits.

None that I can think of.

Travel and recognition. Healthcare coverage.

It is the best company to work

Cool atmosphere

Salary hike, and bonuses, lovely campus, great food cafeteria

Wonderful people and great products. Management culture is excellent. They are very customer focused.

Lots of change, continuous learning, stimulating environment

Ability to work anywhere and learning opportunities

I do this lol.
