"I have worked for Cisco for 23 years. Company with a great culture, values, innovation and cares about the community. Innovation comes from within and via acquisitions of technology, people and culture. Cisco's portfolio is broad and rich and has a great partner channel model. Customer success and centricity is what drives loyalty."

"Not much to say. The company is ok, just a lot of red tape and politics to deal with."

"My particular team was non-stop stressed out, unhappy, and had no idea what they were doing. They hired a junior level engineer with no intention of in depth on-boarding. Everyone was required to be in office at 8 am, yet stay until 9 pm or later; sometimes into the midnight hours. Most of the team quit."

"Cisco is a company filled with very strong and intelligent sales people. But there is too much middle management and lots of failed attempts at launching new solutions into the market, at least in collaboration. They have also continued to lay people off every single FY for the past 3 years, though the company has over $50 billion in the bank. Kinda sad."

"I've worked for Cisco Systems Inc for more than 8 years and am currently employed there. I love the company culture and ethics. It's a very strong company with great employee satisfaction. The company can improve on incorporating StartUp culture in delivering Software Products."

"I have worked with Cisco as a NCE for 2 years and I am kind of tired of this job as it's not at all challenging. Basically, Job requires me to sit at the customer site and be a middle-man between customer network enggs and TAC enggs. Basically, I don't get to do anything. More than that, there isn't any network automation. Its all manually done. I would recommend working with Cisco, but not this position if you are interesting in coding."

"It's very difficult to grow in this company. Once you take a job placement you are stuck to that positions unless you make a change and move to different areas. I would not recommend this company for long term career. Longer you stay in this company you stagnate."
