      Great work, healthy team-oriented atmosphere

      Cisco is rock solid, but lacks inspired innovation

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Excellent work environment, casual but demanding - The Cisco name: the king of networking - A very solid, stable company, without any really aggressive competition - Plenty of paid time off

      Cons

      - As an intern, I have observed that the work week can be extremely long for full time employees, and this type of time commitment is expected when customer issues arise (some members of my team just put in a 100 hour work week) - There is some flexibility with work/life balance in that you can work a 40-hour week if you get your job done and can choose when you come to work and leave, but if you expect any type of promotion, work must be your life - Too many constraints and stringent processes causes a lack of innovation and creativity

      Cisco!!

      Test engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Stable company.Look at optimizing product groups with clearer decision-making and better integration of product management and engineering. At the end of the day, product groups (incl marketing and engineering) are still 20-70 people, very manageable units. You don't have to concede product development to competitors. Too much compromise

      Cons

      compensation and career advancement. Only lateral movement moving from one group to the other, absolutely ridiculous policy. there should be really an incentive for people to move from one position to the other. I did an prestigious MBA program, then when I finish, there is absolutely no upside to move within Cisco. The HR did not find an easy way for me to find a new and exciting opportunity. So I left.
