Cisco reviews

Employees are permitted to work from home at least once a week. There is a snack table, and there are free sodas and coffees. Even though I don’t consume any of those things, I still like the fact that they have them.

I am a midlevel Software Engineer with 5+ years of experience working in Cisco, specifically Voice Technology group. We have some really interesting Projects. Some of the best minds in the Industry work here. Managers just care if the targets are met, and not individual work hours. I got to learn a lot from senior Engineers/Tech leads. Best practises in software development. Scope of recognition is pretty high. If you come up with some thing really good/cool, senior management do recognize. Good Work Environment. All drinks free, but no free food though :(. Pay is 94k, but i think there are folks who earn more than me with the same experience. Bonuses depend on company wide policy and overall company's performance. Mine is 13% So, there is not much you can do if Cisco overall doesnt do well. Bonuses are dependent on grade level of the job position. Public transportation comes for free(Ecopasses from VTA) within Bay area. Paid-time-off is pretty good, you earn 1 day for every 8 days of work. Cisco pays for home internet.
