Impossible demands and high school work environment including the managers.

Pros

Some coworkers are excellent people and the top network engineers in the world. It was a pleasure to learn from them.

Cons

High school atmosphere. "Boy's club" which included male managers. Sexual harassment is a given if you are a woman (overt and covert). If management doesn't like you for any reason, off you go. They have let go excellent engineers. Impossible demands "because it's Cisco". Toxic competition is encouraged

We are sorry you feel this way about Cisco. We have a strict no tolerance policy against sexual harassment and if this is an honest issue please report it immediately to HR. Again we apologize for your experience, but we can guarantee that this is not the norm.

Pros

Ample training opportunities; Access to a lot of resources, both hardware and software. Access to some very smart people. Good treatment of minorities.

Cons

Went from having a bad rating system to having no rating system at all. Performance makes no difference, compensation growth is well below inflation.
