      Good company to work with

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Flexible working hours. Balanced working and personal life. need to be self-disciplined and self motivated. Tons of published technical materials, which can be a benefit for self-starting and self-taught.

      Cons

      Overtime work are needed in most of the field works, but not that often in my case. I have the experience of working 16 to 20 hrs in five days straight. However the company had noticed the stress and started to address this issue.

      Pros

      -Flexible Work Schedule -Good , well-rounded benefits package -Smart People with a lot of support -Results-focused culture -Financial stability of company

      Cons

      -Avg promotion time is 6-7 yrs - to get a promotion you need to pound on your chest and perhaps step over others -Long hours are expected - you have a flexible work schedule but expected to work all the time -No more stock options or RSU's -Moving jobs to low cost regions of the world -New leaders coming into the company are disconnected from the employee base - new leaders just hire "Their guy", and start all over -In just the past year: Finance layoff, forced rotations, No more free soda's, No more paying for cell phone and home internet, and movement of finance jobs outside of US or to lower cost non-SJ locations - what's next?

      Pros

      Cisco uses the state-of-the-art IT infrastructure/systems to increase productivity. Cisco offers a wide range of technologies to work on.

      Cons

      Cisco is very process heavy - it tends to move too slowly compared to some other innovative companies in the valley.
