"I worked with Cisco for almost 2 years and loved it. Great culture and a company that you can tell really cares about its employees - one of the best things I noticed from the recruiting side was we were able to make total compensation packages for new talent coming in that was very competitive in the Bay Are market. It gave us a great shot at bringing in the industries best."
