Pros

Salary and opportunities for training good. Flexible working policies very good

Cons

Cisco bought out our successful company and have ruined it in around 5 years. It's too big, what makes sense as a direction at the top, loses its way in translation down the layers and becomes farcical. Constant redundancies and reorganisations just to try and make the bean counters happy, with no real thought as to whether they make sense. Good people can be cut from important/successful projects because some line manager in the States has been told to cull x people and conversely some people can be left with a job title and a good salary, but no constructive work to do - soul destroying and I'm so happy I got out.

Thank you for your review and more than 10 years with Cisco. It's incredible that you've been with us for so long! Says a lot. That being said, I'm sorry you've have some poor experiences recently. I can assure you however that we do promote and we have many women over 40 working for us. I know you must be frustrated and I apologize on Cisco's behalf.

Pros

A good Life/ work balance. Work hard, play hard, rinse and repeat.

Cons

Company is in the midst of re- inventing itself. As such, many great people have been laid off, and other great people have left on their own accord for much greener pastures. Morale is very low. A once great culture has been lost.
