Going down the drain

Pros

They have a great work from home policy which I really appreciate. Work life balance is also fairly good.

Cons

Ancient tools, slowing moving giant. They love to talk about the buzzwords in technology but have no clue how to proceed. Management is filled with layers and layers of yes-men who are caught up in a cycle of incrementally modernizing their bloated products. To "innovate", they purchase other companies - often started by Cisco employees themselves frustrated at the rate of change within Cisco. Then they layoffs start, and people are told they don't have the skills Cisco is looking for, when in reality it's the management which doesn't have the skills to lead.

Thank you for the your review and more than three years with Cisco. Rest assured your feedback has been heard. We have a team dedicated to internal and external listening. I hope you see a difference in management as we continue to hold Leader Days (a day when leaders stop their day jobs to sync around the topic of leadership). Thank you for the value you provide!

Pros

good food in the onsite cafe

Cons

This is a high-tech slave shop, it's only about the management since they are the ones who get the big bonus and stocks. They care less about anyone else but themselves.
