Cisco Systems Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"I worked for Cisco Systems in Summer 2013. The work-life balance is very good. Also, all my colleagues including my manager were really helpful. I enjoyed working at Cisco."

"Awesome company to work with."

"Very cool place to work and enjoy life!!!"

"Cisco was very enjoyable to work for. No real sense of urgency but with such a large company it is understandable."

"Good environment, good leadership but there is an excess of middle management. Cisco did layoffs recently but there is still a layer that needs to be removed in order for the company to move as nimbly as its competitors such as HP, Juniper and Huawei."

"This is a great place to learn and explore your knowledge. I have no words to express my thanks to my company."

"I have worked with Cisco for nearly 7 years now and it has been a learning experience and I have got opportunity to excel and learn from my mistakes. This has made me a stronger leader. The management team is very mature and empowers their employees to make the right decision and execute on those decisions. This has helped the team immensely in excelling in their endeavors."

"I worked in backbone TAC and HTTS for 2.5 years, supporting the software products that manage all the various technologies and products Cisco sells. This is a thankless task, constantly apologizing for Cisco and their terrible software products. Although I excelled at this, took twice the caseload of the others and assisted helping my teammates taking the most collaborations, this wasn't enough to get to a salary range that I'd expect in any major city. Kudos for a good place to self study."

"In this position, I acted as Cisco Voice Network Engineer at for UC500 team."

"It's a great place to work. There have been some changes recently and it is sometimes hard to tell who is responsible for what, which can create interim chaos. I don't mind a little chaos, it can be exciting. Sometimes it needs to be better level-set and that is not within my control right now."

"I worked at Cisco for more than a year and found the team very friendly and helpful."

"I've worked at Cisco since 2001. Great salary and benefits."

"Worked for Cisco writing setup software for consumer routers. Team was small, everyone was friendly. Used Scrum (sort of, not complete.) Goals were clear, process was efficient. Worked as contractor, so no experience with benefits, career, etc."

"It's an amazing workplace, with a lot to learn. Amazing to work with seniors who have very high domain knowledge."
