Cisco Systems Inc Reviews

What is it like working at Cisco Systems Inc?

I love it!
Senior Systems Engineer (Computer Networking / IT) in San Francisco:
Pros: Get to build amazing systems that truly define how the world's computer networks operate.
Cons: The campus isn't that great, I wish there were more food options. I don't like the salad bar we have. I also have to commute from San Fran to North San Jose...
As a Lead Consulting Engineer for multiple customers like Bank, Health Care, Telecom, Finance group’s leading multiple projects with them, Deploying customer network setup in lab & testing it for new deployment & part of weekend activity.
Sr. Network Engineer in Bangalore:
Pros: Best place to work
Fun and Challenging.
Technical Marketing Engineer in San Jose:
Pros: The visibility and the benefits that come with working here.
Cons: Promotions and performance and salary metrics are unclear.
It is an ambiguous job, but depending on the team you will feel very fulfilled (or not)
Data Engineer in San Francisco:
Pros: I like that there is a lot of say over what I can do with my free time. Cisco allows you to structure your life how you want it, but if that option is available to you then your actual work will be a little on the slower side. This might hinder your career growth.
Cons: I dislike the demographic of people. Cisco is an older company, so finding younger co-workers is difficult. This give the job a weird taste, as you are constantly around older individuals who are all parents, and in turn treat you as such. It is hard to have casual conversation with most as the gap in socialization is so large due to age differences. I also dislike how male dominated it is, leaving few women picked for leadership roles and promotions.
It's a grind and opportunities are less merit based than networking based.
Senior Finance Manager in Colleyville:
Pros: The pay feeds my family. I can work from home. My work is trusted, but there is too much for one person.
Cons: There are not enough (or the right) standard data management systems. Too many chiefs not enough workers.
Challenging but not shining.
Software Engineer in Caesarea:
Pros: The responsibility I get, the actual task are usualy interesting
Cons: Its far from where I live. Low feeling of pride.
I am invisible.
Instructional Designer in Santa Cruz:
Pros: The culture-speak is uplifting. Lots of smart people.
Cons: My value is not understood. My work is good but not appreciated.
