Working at Cisco Systems in San Jose, CA: 448 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in San Jose, CA Area

"To be updated later. Applying for this company now."

"Have been here at Cisco for 8 years and get great reviews from my boss but ZERO raises (except for a promotion). Work-life balance stinks, Cisco forges bad reviews of older employees to get rid of them and there are regular layoffs despite great performance by the company. (A Cisco co-worker described the layoffs as a General executing many of his own soldiers after they've defeated a hated enemy)."

"In my work with Cisco Systems Inc I had considerable success in the delivery of collaborative technology systems and product lines at Cisco Systems for corporate communications systems and for Internet based call centers. I also was one of the team leaders at Cisco to develop and implement a complete change over in their ERP, CRM and oderability and fulfillment systems."

"Good place to work, and company takes care of people well."

"Great company with benefits. Large and slow moving, as it is an older technology company."

"Cisco is a very good company to work for."

"I worked at Cisco 14 years and it was the best experience! Worked with terrific people, learned a lot."

"Excellent company to work with. Respects work life balance."

"Cisco is a great company to work for and afforded me many opportunities to grow my career both internally and externally. Their training programs and the experience/level of individuals that work with you on a day to day basis is one of the main reasons I worked there for so long. I would highly recommend them as both a starting career and as a long term growth opportunity."

"Terrific company, very fast paced and demanding, you make it what you want it to be - but expect to be a top performer all the time. The size of the company allows you to experience many markets, technologies, and environment."

"I have worked at Cisco Systems since 1994. I have found it to be a strong technology company with strong ethical values. The company places great emphasis on customer retention and employee appreciation."

"I am working in CISCO since April 2012. I found this company an awesome place to work at. Work life balance is great along with learning and leading opportunities."

"I've worked here for 2 years and felt that the developers are treated as cows who are expected to work like 18+ hours a day all 7 days. Senior management is totally not concerned about employee work-life balance."

"I work for Cisco Systems. It is a great company to work with if you get the right manager. Since your manager has to acknowledge your work, though you work and slog. If you get the right manager Cisco has all the best things to provide and a good company to keep learning."

"Good company."
