      One of the best jobs I ever had

      Manager, advanced services
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great global teamwork, excellent tools for collaboration, a culture that encourages self-initiative and rewards it, good pay, and I like that they take ethics very serious. Supporting flexible work hours: It's more important that the job gets done than when it gets done.

      Cons

      Work hours can be crazy when you work in a global environment As with any large organization, internal processes can drive you crazy.

      The initial excitement faded pretty soon

      Senior systems administrator
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      very flexible on work time, good compensation for on-Call, nice office

      Cons

      micro management, too much management involvement & dictation in technical decisions and daily work, not properly included into Cisco (always felt like an forgotten outpost), resilient against industry standard technologies & methods & systems, patching stupid & fundamentally broken systems instead of replacing them with proper ones, too much on-call, local management had no say or information on what upper management is doing or deciding, Cisco treating people and contractors really bad when the earnings call is around the corner, not using external services and providers but trying to build in-house and fail hard, being a miserable open source citizen, not giving resources for proper testing & automation

      still a box mover company

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      met few but some really talented people, some business lines are really offering interesting and good products and solutions to the end-user

      Cons

      too much politics and old buddy networking, trying to switch to an software company "lead" by 20+ years hardware guys/management which is not working.
