Cisco reviews

Ridiculous manangement that have a philososphy of working to add an entry in performance review and not for the necessity. All happens in the name of process and no wonder if it doesnt happen at all :-D You can think about promotions in dream,oppurtunities in words. Full politics and no recognition for deserving candidates. Almost worst outsourced services like HR ,Work place resources, etc for employees. All happens in the name of process and no wonder if it doesnt happen at all :-D To say it simple,you can be recognised as a fool if you stay long. If more than that if you wish to take a chance then its your fate!

Promotions are slow and its difficult to get recognition. I am lucky in that my manager and I have a good working dialogue and I know he is listening to my concerns. If you're ambitious and damn good at your job, you'll start to feel frustrated often at Cisco. Reason being promotions are slow and those who are the lowest performers are rewarded by keeping their job and those who are worth their salt aren't promoted fast enough. Of course, I'm sure this is common with large companies. In my opinion, Cisco needs to recognize fresh talent quickly, give them (me) opportunities to grow and responsibilities, and promote them quickly.
