Cisco reviews

Managers are sweatshopping engineers trying to compete not with the marketplace but instead with other groups doing the same exact thing. What a huge waste. Being forced to work late and weekends is awful, and if you do manage to get your own work done during " normal" hours you still have to come in weekends "for the team". Apparently you dont have enough to do if you are getting your job done during the week. After all that, no raise and no bonuses for me. So I left, got 2 offers in three days elsewhere and have never been happier.

The morale there sucks! They are squeezing people's ability to work as they used to. They have reorganized into a silo'd organization that does not allow any freedoms to work without the beaureaucratic bs. The way they do reviews is certainly not fair especially when it is tied to your bonuses. They compare you to each other and not how you have performed against your annual goals. This way they can get more work out of you and pay you less. And it is getting worse! Did I mention the morale there sucks!
