Working at Cisco Systems in Morrisville, NC: 22 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Morrisville, NC Area

"A decent place to work compensation is above average, you can work from home the majority of the time, little room for upward growth and a lot of politics."

"I work as a contractor for Cisco Systems Inc via Apex Systems and my experience has not been an overly positive one. LOW pay, terrible benefits, and zero PTO. My experience within Cisco has been positive, just not with the contractor. Apex Systems."

"Cisco good for exposure and experience. NetApp and SAS better overall for employees and benefits."

"I've worked in Cisco systems for more than 1 year. Basically, I like the project I am working on. It requires lots of my creativity and critical thinking. From the project, I have learnt a lot, not only on the technology side, but also about how to communicate with others, especially in a global working environment. The con of the company is that there are lots of politics in the decision making, which really annoys engineers."

"I worked in backbone TAC and HTTS for 2.5 years, supporting the software products that manage all the various technologies and products Cisco sells. This is a thankless task, constantly apologizing for Cisco and their terrible software products. Although I excelled at this, took twice the caseload of the others and assisted helping my teammates taking the most collaborations, this wasn't enough to get to a salary range that I'd expect in any major city. Kudos for a good place to self study."
