Cisco reviews

There is one other danger I must mention. This applies even in 'good' groups. There is a tendency at Cisco to just keep loading you with more and more responsibilities until you actually stand up and say enough. If this is an interesting job, you might find that you are spending more time on work than you had originally planned, at the expense of family, friends, etc. So decide for yourself how much you want to work and what your goals are. And then be prepared to work with your management to define the appropriate role. No one will come and ask you what you want at Cisco. You have to decide that for yourself, and then communicate it to your management. Also, if you do end up in a bad situation, be prepared to make an honest assessment of the situation and leave. No one likes to quit, but if you end up staying 5 or 6 years without fair rewards, you will find yourself falling well behind people who were your peers when you started... and this is really not a good experience.”

innovation is out the window. it is becoming process laden, and totally red tape encumbered. Layoffs every time they need to make numbers. Management heavy. You want 100 words or more. Hmm. Why? This is exactly the problem we are having at Cisco. You set a rigid guideline, which requires people to fill up space, even when it does not have meaning? We are experiencing the same here. Why host a 1 hour meeting, when the point could be conveyed in 15 minutes. Cisco used to be a highly innovative company, delivering cutting edge products. Now? we struggle to get 100 words, instead of focusing on the product.
