Team Environment
Great exercise facility
onsite daycare

Good balance in life and work. As other corporations, work culture depends on which group you are working in.

I learned a great deal from my managers to my coworkers.
It was one of the best experiences I have ever had throughout my career. Not to say that the rest aren't as good, but this thought me a lot and helped me grow.

-Great work/life balance
-Work from home
-Good pay
-Strong management

Great company overall but but limited upward mobility. People and culture keep me from looking elsewhere.

productive workplace with great flexibility working options

Good company for work life balance but very little opportunity for career growth

Has some good points and some bad
the head manager tends to micro manage

Business partners who are collaborative, great work-life balance, opportunities to contribute to objectives as a member of virtual, cross-functionsl teams

Cisco India is a great place to work. It is a market leader and provides opportunity to work on technologies which are aligned to enhance user experience.

1. Productive and Fun place to work
2. Worked on the VoIP
3. A great organization to work in unified communication.

Work Iife Balance is great here @ Cisco.
Vertical move is very difficult . You can get Role change easily.

Advancement difficult unless you're hand-picked and then you are fast-tracked regardless of your competency. Majority of the employees (~75%) performance is ranked as "satisfactory" which means no options and no raises. COLA are unheard of unless you're moving between organizations or are part of an acquisition. You can lose money working there. There's – more... constant pressure to be available. Emails sent at 9, 10, 11 pm requesting feedback are common as is working at home in the evening after leaving the office at 6 pm.

On the plus side, working remotely is supported by the majority of managers in San Jose. It is possible to work around personal commitments without apologies. Cisco is very generous in terms of 24X7 emergency support whether work-related or personal. The onsite health clinic is a huge time saver. You stay on top of technology and trends which makes your work experience more valuable to other employers. And you work with nice people. – less

Yet to form an opinion so i do not have mych to say. I have only been working there less than a year.

Work culture is different in different divisions but generally its flexible and family pro.

Cisco can be considered to be as one of the most ideal places to work. It has a wonderful work culture with excellent co-worker relations. Flexible timings for work provide a good work-life balance. It has ample entertainment facilities to ensure employees stay fresh throughout the day.
Management lacks a bit at sometimes, but isn't it the case with – more... every other firm?
At Cisco, I learned a lot of technical stuff. But the more rewarding learning was that of teamwork and employee relations. You learn to cope with people with conflicting mentalities, which is often the hardest part in a job. But its also a good point to ponder and enjoy upon later. – less
