Good place to work for millennials with little or no IT background but passionate about technology
Pros
Diversity - people are from different backgrounds which makes the work environment rich in sense of ideas, cultures and experiences. Many interesting, talented and dedicated people from whom you can learn a lot. Trainings - the abundance of online learning materials that every employee can leverage in order to gain more knowledge and master certain skills whether it be required or desired. Innovative tools - one of the best things is that we get to use what we sell (especially collaboration tools) that makes our jobs more productive and engaging. Activities within and outside the office - many volunteering and sports activities that are not only fun, but also very helpful in terms of getting to know your team mates and other people working at Cisco. If you are a person who likes personal and professional development, open for constructive feedback from anyone inside the organisation, enojys challenges and leverages opportunities, it is the right place for you.
Cons
- It is an enormous corporation, therefore hierarchy and bureaucracy are unavoidable as in all of the big organizations. - The hiring process is selective and competitive which is why it takes an effort to make it through. - If you are not open to constant challenges and changes, it is not the place for stability.
