Cisco reviews

Cisco is a big monopoly and it is managed badly, but it does not matter because they leverage their monopoly to make money. The internet would be better if the company was broken up into 12 companies based on their monopolies in so many areas. They are a classic example of a place that at one time was great to work for and each year it goes down hill like IBM and Microsoft. I had two alcoholic middle managers that did not care about my group or understand business. You will be a just a number at this company. Cisco's vision is to maintain there existing monopolies and buy start ups that challenge them.

Bureaucratic. Managers and longtime employees have a sense of entitlement. Large stock grants for management -the rich get richer . Work from home provides opportunities for people to hide with little contribution. Ego driven large account teams. Frequent layoffs hide poor management and strategic decisions.
