Pros

Meaningful work, exposure to executives, great culture. Cisco has an incredible internship program where they introduce you to what life at Cisco is like in sales while you learn the Cisco specific products, giving you a head start on a potential career. Cisco provides you the opportunity to interview at the end of the program.

Cons

The description of the program upon applying did not completely explain the program. However, you learn everything you need to about the program on day 1.

Pros

This internship was such an amazing opportunity! In one summer full of fun & learning, with new experiences each and every day, Cisco Systems and employees taught me more than I ever imagined. I had access to industry professionals, the work was meaningful (I never was the coffee runner), the pay was VERY COMPETITIVE, built upon skills and gained new skills I could use on any job, and the whole summer was full of networking and personal and career building tasks. I would recommend this internship to anyone who is willing to have a team of managers and personal mentor who will see their flaws and help you build upon them, also someone who is hardworking and never gives up!

Cons

They gave us Mac laptops, I didnt know how to use it in the beginning but I caught on fast and LOVED IT!

Pros

Cisco has its hand in a lot of pots so you're sure to find an area of work you're interested it. Furthermore, its an industry leader and a great name to have on your resume, especially as an intern. Great work life balance.

Cons

San Jose and the Bay in general are extremely expensive, expect most of your compensation to go towards room and board.
