Cisco reviews

Perhaps this was the most nightmarish experience I have had in a big company. It's sad that Cisco had such fat cats sitting and just taking bad decisions for business to suit their personal ambitions for promotion. Politics and lack of people with proper skills - that should sum it up. Nobody really cares about doing good work. All they care is "how do I keep my manager happy" so they can keep their job. New ideas are shot down and people who voice their opinion are shown the door out.

Dinosaur management. Lack vision and execution. Highly complacent and out of touch employees processes and programs. Sitting on laurels from 15 years ago syndrome, endemic to bloated megalith corporate structure. Check out the VERY dated web presence. Very ambivalent toward customers, ISV's and technology partners. Company currently desperate, "suddenly" realizing that they are largely irrelevant as a value OEM and need ISV's more than ISV's need them. VERY VERY late to market in key areas, although you can expect to see efforts to establish themselves in Collaboration and the Internet of Everything - yet with assembly line minded employees and severe lack of thought leadership. Seriously vulnerable to competitors who understand the new Internet based paradigms. No knowledge management practices to speak of. Way too many manual processes internally for a connectivity company, no BI or tools with which to work - they simply don't walk the talk internally to match their external promises. Buzzword over substance. Fear based instead of opportunity based. Highly disorganized. VERY flaky with regard to contract consultants and value add partnerships. Low Trust organization. Out dated. Expect high levels of PR over the next year as execs attempt to right the ship. Dumped all my stock. Out of touch and headed the way of NCR if execs don't get things together within 6 months.
