      CISCO - the dysfunctional "family"

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - you can work from home. - relaxed dress code - pay check isn't going to bounce

      Cons

      - very high workload, can get ridiculous when covering for absent colleagues. - no training. - no annual pay rises, irrespective of performance. So each year your efforts are rewarded with an effective pay cut as inflation eats into your competitive starting salary of 5 years before! - limited/no career progression. - Benefits steadily cut - the joke in the offices is that soon we will have to pay for our own toilet paper. - employees now have to pay for own broadband and mobile phones - which the company still expects you to use for cisco business - figure that one out. - expected to be on call virtually 24 hours a day. - A performance review process which is laughable - break your back or sit back - no difference.

      A prisoner of it potential

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      An incredible brand. An executive team with a deep talent bench that knows how to place its bets. Nothing wrong with the compensation especially in the good times! You learn to think like a winner.

      Cons

      Patchy governance in theaters outside US & Canada and Europe. Astonishingly weak HR for such a large company. Probably the worst and most inconsequential HR review process amongst its peers. Absolutely no accountability for sales management. If times are good the rising tide lifts all boats. If times are bad well bad times are blamed.

      Pros

      The people and the comradery of co-workers. The endless availability of training materials, self study, Computer Based Training, and virtual training groups.

      Cons

      Depending on the group you are in, Cisco Certifications drive whether or not promotions and salary increases are given. The more Certs you have the better the opportunity to get promotions and or salary increases.
