      Worst Place to Work For

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good to learn and get certifications

      Cons

      Lack of integrity in senior leadership. No values, lay offs and performance ratings are unfair. No listening of your employee concerns even by HR. Corrupt culture, no motivation to work.

      Pros

      It's all good. Over 15 yrs worth of good stuff. Then in a heartbeat, they throw you out for no good reason.

      Cons

      Exec leadership doesn't have a clue.

      Not the same company since layoff culture was implemented

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Allowed flexible work hours and environment. Great collaboration tools to allow workers to work remotely.

      Cons

      Cisco acquire companies due to lack of innovation and/or loosing market share. Cisco mismanages acquisitions and have a hard time integrating cultures from acquisitions. Layoff has became clock work. CEO announces the layoff at fiscal year-end every August. After the layoff, Cisco will acquire more companies to gain market share, then, layoff employees due to overlap technology and job function.
