Cisco reviews

Little training allowed during the job (not enough time or department money for classes). Manager turn over is very high (I've had more managers than years worked there). Hard to see direct connection to customer with products you are working on (too many layers of people in between). Yearly layoffs with little concern for talented people affected has created a bad morale situation.

Constant emphasized budgets & the corporate watchword of Frugality cheapens all aspects of the culture. They have acquired so many startups & other internet companies, some that don't even compete with them, in robber baron style that they've become the poster boys for job killers vs. job creators with a top-heavy elite upper management who reap a huge disproportionate amount of the profits in bloated bonuses. They are failing to integrate all their acquisitions into Cisaco, & most acquired companies evaporate with huge layoffs.
