Glassdoor forced this review out of me
Pros
I have been at this place for 5 years and quite happy with it. So that should tell you something - but I have no new "updates" , Glassdoor. Give me a break. So: Absolutely fabulous work culture and they make sure the folks they hire fit into it. Great benefits. Good learning curve, albeit a bit slow. If you are looking for excitement, not the place for you- if you are looking for satisfaction, then it is. Great work life balance and inclusive culture ( I say this as a woman)
Cons
For anyone actually reading: Not many cons to Cisco, just that leadership/ management is still a bit old school and ageist in my BU (AppD Observability) . Good people, but you better be 35+ to be taken seriously in a leadership role, even if your talent is recognised in other ways before that. Also, not the best YoY increment compared to contemporaries.
