At Cisco, we embody transformation and help our customers excel in their digital worlds.

#WeAreCisco, where each person is unique. We bring our talents to work as a team each day, helping power an inclusive future for all. Here's how we do it.

At Cisco, we embody transformation and help our customers excel in their digital worlds. Some may think we're "old" (36+ years strong!) and only about hardware, but we're also a software company, a security company, a blockchain company, and an AI/Machine Learning company. We even invented an intuitive network that adapts, predicts, learns, and protects. Our innovation never stops!

Cisco values the perspectives and skillsets that arise from employees with diverse backgrounds. That's why Cisco is expanding the boundaries of discovering top talent by not only focusing on candidates with college degrees and experience but instead placing more emphasis on unlocking potential.

As one of the leading forces in connecting the world, we understand our unique opportunity to bring communities together and create meaningful change for everyone, everywhere. That's why connecting starts within Cisco. Over 30,000 Cisconians participate in our Employee Resource Groups, called Inclusive Communities, where we network, learn to be informed allies, and help make a difference.

Cisco didn't just build the Internet. We keep building it. And while our technology helps connect the unconnected, that's not where our edge comes from. It comes from our people—unique, innovative, and diverse. Be you, with us!

This my 1st office job, so it was a definite shock to the body as 8 was behind a desk all day. I'm used to moving, working with my hands part of the time. Odd hours for conference calls was different for me as well.

Having worked at Cisco as both a Cisco employee and a contractor, be a Cisco employee at all costs. They get generous days off and the staff are super supportive. Overall a much better experience than being a contractor.
