      Let's Talk - From a Cisco Culture Enthusiast's Perspective

      Senior marketing program manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      BFPWGP or Best Freaking Place to Work, Grow and Play! I have been with Cisco for 11 years and I am truly excited each day because I have an opportunity to think about my current role, my opportunity to grow and most important my value to the community and believe it or not earth. In my role, i have learned so much about the importance of Sustainability and how WE need to sever the umbilical cord to Mother Earth. Cisco creates conscious citizens that are culturally responsible and push beyond their wildest imagination. I encourage you to find an opportunity here at Cisco, I promise you will have a lasting career. #LoveWhereYouWork.

      Cons

      There is a lack of diversity in Cisco although great strides being made. we have a ways to go. i encourage to explore more diversity at the mid level management level.

      BFPWGP - you created a new acronym! Glad you feel that way - eleven years speaks that, too! You're right, diversity is key to a successful company - and I'm also seeing much more focus from Cisco in that area. Thanks for your review!

      Stay away - unless you are Indian - Ethnic nepotism at large

      Senior technical leader
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Depends on the group you work for, there is an opportunity to acquire more skills Descent pay

      Cons

      It is all about Indian nepotism. No chance to advance your career unless you ar indian. Senior management are fake about what they call "diversity" which means for them to hire dependent and underpaid H1B workers so they could make millions every year. Severe bias and discrimination across all levels

      Stop the Indian nepotism

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      When engineering was more diverse before round after round after round of 're-structuring' work/life balance used to be decent.

      Cons

      In Engineering, if you are not part of the 'in crowd' (aka Indian) you will quickly notice the politics around you. There are issues with upward mobility, projects you are given, and if you refuse to work nights and weekends you are seen as "not doing enough". Also, you can tell by working with others that many people got their jobs simply from being being connected to another Indian.
