Cisco reviews

* Inconsistencies with rewards and changes to compensation * Company diversity may not be as evident on smaller (scale) teams * HR exists more for the company PR and less so for the individual (unless you can create a social-media frenzy) * Company spends a LOT of time on feel-good sensitivity initiatives for employees. So much so that it does not seem genuine but rather was developed to muster good PR and conform with the zeitgeist - make delicate flowers more comfortable.

- Leadership is a mess and has no idea what is happening in the field and what reality is - We build products that we think the market needs vs what they are actually asking for. So many old egos that will not let bad products fade away - Just working through all the internal challenges within Cisco to sell is harder than even selling to the customer - We pay executives tons of money, but cut all the quality out of TAC so it is not good anymore - We over promise and under deliver all the time. Ask customers to spend like they are buying a Lexus, but they are buying junker - Way too many people who want their voices and opinions heard and so good ideas turn into terrible execution - We hire the same people over and over again that are in the same industry or have friends here, instead of finding great talent that can be taught the technology
