Cisco reviews

sweat shop: expect 70+ hours of work regularly if you are an engineer. high pressure: not only do you have to put in long hour, it is a high pressure environment. Every one is pressuring everyone else to get the work done, leading to a very nasty environment and teamwork suffers a lot. People just do not have time to help others unless it is something that is "visible" by their management. Company frugality policy means you do not have the resources (equipment) to actually do the work expected of you. People spend a lot of wasted time fighting over equipment and making do with prototype that do not work.

HR is the worst organization at Cisco. HR leaders talks the talk and punishes those who walk the talk HR leadership too often is arrogant in taking liberty with undermining leaders who are not political HR disables the business' success because they are only interested in their survival HR has limited concept of true leadership and are political beasts looking to outshine one another HR is clueless when it comes to understaning human behavior and translating it opportunities to lift up morale, productivity and overall employee engagement
