      Layoffs in Nov 2018 - Back-Stabbing Company, Doesn't Respect Workers

      Business operations manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Seemingly large company, lots of products

      Cons

      Since it's an exceedingly large company, (up to 8 layers of management from bottom to CEO), there's no true care for employees. - Lots of HR propaganda about give-and-take, pretending to care about homelessness, mental healths, etc. but when it comes down to it, they will fire you and not blink an eye. hypocrites! - internal job site is a joke - unless you want to take a huge pay cut and move to San Jose - lots of internal politics, brown-nosing - VPs not even responding to emails - no employee loyalty Cisco will be eaten by more agile competitors - either US-based or elsewhere.

      Pros

      Excellent pay and benefits, ability to telework, interesting work

      Cons

      When I first came to Cisco, it was very supportive environment for employees; not any more. Unfortunately the new management has focused on the bottom line and forgets it's their PEOPLE that make the difference. The company says they don't "layoff" people but they do, twice a year. They treat their contractors terribly promising to hire them after a year or so but then they just let them go for "budget" reasons. A routine work week is 50-60 hours. Lots of turnover and constant "reorganizations" for efficiency. Not a great environment for women; there are exceptional women that work there but certainly not enough opportunities.
