Cisco Employer Reviews

Work direction aligned with success. Excellent working environment.

Another case where I worked for a start-up that was purchased by a big company. I left shortly after the aquisition.

Co-Workers are very cooperating to make me understand the business.

A great place to work for with a very friendly and culturally diverse team. Huge learning experience in the field of networking. Required continuous learning of latest technologies as my role was providing technical support to clients for their routers, switches and wireless devices.

A very friendly Environment with Lots of potential to learn

Working at Cisco is a privilege. You receive exciting exposure to so much technology, the training opportunities are endless. It's a dream job if you can get the opportunity to work at Cisco,

Great product

High energy workforce

Great work experience.

Had a chance to do some very innovative industry leading programs.

Day to day operations for the SAN infrastructure for the PDC and the DDC.

Great place to work with diversity and very professional work environment.

I have learned a lot in this role, from how to be a better people manager. Cisco provides for a great work-life balance. I have been able to work hard, and still take time to travel and enjoy the the life that the work has provided for me.

I learned many new Cisco related tools and worked with a lot of great people. I worked extremely long hours from both home and at the office. The most enjoyable part of the job was being able to work from home with somewhat flexible hours.

Right out of undergrad I was fortunate to get a job with Cisco as a Software Engineer. Once joining the team I did, it consumed my life, which at the time was ok. I was taking it all in, learning all the technology I could, since Cisco has many different technologies. Once I took in all I could the job got dull since I had to take on just one of these – more... technologies. – less

I learned more at cisco in 4 years than I had prior. You are exposed to many different technologies and very smart people. The hardest part of the job is the realization that there is so much that you don't know! I enjoyed challenges and solving problems and the ability to work autonomously. A typical day at work is filled with configuring routers, – more... switches, firewalls, troubleshooting networks. – less

well compensated, but the clock did not exist. you work till you are done. i would sometimes work till midnight 7 days a week to get a project of show ready, however, if I wanted to stay home and work, i only needed to send my boss an email.

very conservative group
good company
very safe but a bit tight
some areas have alot of room for growth
company has had a massive down size and things are a bit tighter and more on a budget

Good management and networking opportunities for interns

Cisco is a big company with too many apportunity areas, to develop or automate process

You learn a lot & are pushed. The work from home option helps with the work/life balance.

Software products and concepts MUST be expressed in terms of hardware that may be sold (the “appliance model”). Here is the software development life cycle:

• Marketing/Sales surmises product features
• A minimum time build plan and simplistic architecture is formulated
• An “agile-like” development process is followed to quickly create partial implementations – more... of the features

The cycle repeats until sales goals are met, the project is canceled, or further construction is impossible due to technical debt. Public release of these products to customers then leads to excessive bugs and the related maintenance.

Because of the minimal time to feature completion, and focus on hardware constraints of the appliance model, the resulting systems to not scale to cloud deployments. – less

Productive, Fast paced, fascinating, comprehensive, educative, flexible and very fun place
