      Pros

      Cisco has so much to offer. They put a lot of emphasis on diversity and inclusion and they really seem to mean it. They offer stretch assignment opportunities, paid time off to volunteer, lots of seminars/presentations on various topics. Great benefits and PTO too.

      Cons

      Haven't found any yet, really.

      Pros

      Having a job there led to a much better role at a better company…

      Cons

      I worked at Cisco leading one of the AR teams, and I have to say that this was THE worst culture I have been part of. I had nightmares about the role after quitting for about six months, and every time I had to speak with my toxic director manager, I would have heart palpations starting the night before because she was absolutely awful. There is a micro culture of submission on the Comms team because anyone who disagreed with anything was pushed out. I wouldn’t recommend Cisco to anyone. Plus they lowballed me in the leader role I was given by offering me exactly what I made in the position I left for Cisco, but they finally “relented” and offered me 1k more to lead a team. Pffft

      Love working with great people and products

      Pros

      * People: Great people to work with. By far the most amazing team I have worked with. By the way, I had left Cisco and, after 1 year, I came back because I loved working with my current group. The culture shift is refreshing. Be a part of it. * Products: Amazing range of products. And all of them are being inter-connected with one another leading to endless possibilities * Pace: Company is moving at light speed in developing/acquiring/integrating new technologies in networking and other areas. If you are in the right group, the pace is blinding (in a positive way)

      Cons

      * There are still some teams with very slow pace and not eager to change. But the culture is changing positively * No free food. We have free snacks though. But honestly, free-food is over-rated!
