Access Security Manager

"Cisco Systems is a great company. But like every company there are going to be ups and down, good days and bad days. The IT field has grown tremendously over the last 25 years. And it will continue to grow, much more than we'll be able to keep up with the change. Even though there have been a few cutbacks. Cisco gets my A1 rating on quality."

Working at Cisco Systems in Norwood, MA: 1 Employee Reviews

Product Manager

in Norwood, MA

"Management is lying to you."

What do you like about working at Cisco Systems?

"The environment was good. The peers were excellent. They were some of the brightest people around. Working from home was a huge benefit. The laid-back atmosphere was generally great."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Take the job. You'll never have to work another day in your life."

What don't you like about working at Cisco Systems?

"The managers in VSEC were among the most incompetent, back stabbing empire builders ever to be employed anywhere. When things went great, they stole credit. When things failed, they shifted blame. There was no way to win in this environment. If you weren't one of the favorite sons, you were doomed."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Listen more to the lower level employees like the product managers, without the filters of upper level management. THEY ARE LYING TO YOU. Problems are hidden and people silenced. Things are NOT as good as they are telling you. One only has to look at the revenue failure of ASA and VSEC and how bug-ridden it is to know they were sold a bill of goods that was crap. The customers know it."
