Cisco reviews

great work life balance. Opportunities withing Cisco always come up. Corporate communication from upper management is frequent and clear. Compensation is reasonable and benefits are very good. I worked at a number of other companies, startups and large companies alike. Cisco treats their employees very good comparatively and expects good work out of them. Overall the best managed company I've ever worked for in my 12 year career. I worked at Cisco in the past, left and came back for this exact reason. I recommend anyone to come and work for Cisco. It is truly the best place to work.

We really are a company that cares about our customers and partners alike. This has to be exemplified in the field of course, but Cisco gives us all of the tools and resources we need to show how much we care about our customers success as they build out their secure communications infrastructure. Not to mention the GREAT job they have done at empowering the partners and really building a model that we can be proud of. I came from a competitor 4 years ago that had a phenominal partner program and used to LOVE picking on Cisco's lack of partner friendly programs, resources and tools. Now I can say that Cisco has really put great focus on that area and of course, there is room for improvement and nothing is ever ever perfect, but we are getting much closer. The benefits that Cisco affords the employees are better when you are not in a remote territory, but they offer many other incentive programs that allow you to get the message that they care about employees well being. I have watched this company go way above and beyond for many co-workers who have either lost a child due to illness, needed additional care for a cancer diagnosis, etc - that comes from the top and resonates throughout the entire organization. We really work hard at living out our philanthropic duties in all of the countries that we serve through time, money and resources donations. Again something that comes from the top. We really are changing the way we work, live, play and learn!
