"Cisco was the best company. Everyone was proud of working in Cisco!"

What do you like about working at Cisco Systems?

"I liked the pioneering solutions, worldwide customers, super sales/marketing peers, leading-edge products/technologies, and top-notch engineering teams."

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

"A Cisco year was called a dog year before, i.e., one year in Cisco is seven years in other places. Organizational changes and technology changes are much faster than traditional large enterprise companies."

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

"I disliked that it was growing too fast and causing too many organizational changes and silos in products/teams. Corporate strategy was not in sync with individual product/solution strategies."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Encourage cross-BU communication/coordination. Establish a small product committee to create new integrated services/solutions. Promote product/technology and innovation/revolution."
