Cisco reviews

First of all let me say that there is a huge variety of very different experiences in different BU, and across different job functions, so my review might not represent an entire organization. Also, many of the 'negative' aspects are found in probably any organisation of this size. - A very political organization where you can find people care more about their position than their job duties. - Senior accountability often not seen. The company is aware and is trying to change that. - Can be very aggressive as you move up in management positions with many A-type aggressive managers. Can lead to conflicts of interests and internal competition. - Stanford MBA management style, however not really as open as it might appear on the surface and criticism is not accepted well. - You could find yourself 'lost', unappreciated, and unsupported if you have a bad manager (who could otherwise be brilliant and a nice person). I have seen it happen several times. - It will take you much longer to move ahead and progress your career if you are working in an office remote from the main office where your BU management sits. Even with growing use of conferencing and TelePresence. Especially if there is a major time zone difference.

Technical is mature, no cutting-edge technical learned in daily work..such it is hard to find a new career outside Cisco. Cisco is adopting new strategy which is hiring more new graduates to replace mid-level engineers
