"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."

"I've worked at Cisco Systems since August 2007. I have also moved within the company from one location to another and find that most of the people who advance are near their managers. If you are remote, it's harder for you to show your improvement or accomplishments. I do feel most of the great positions and advancements happen in new offices or in San Jose, CA the HQ. Sometimes attaining training is hard to accomplish and acquiring a CCIE within Cisco is basically null and voided at Cisco."

"Not really my type of company. Here at least in the department that I interacted with, hardly people care about the need of business. Everyone wants to push their agenda. People don't care care if business really going to benefit from it."

"I didn't have much if any contact with my supervisor in this position. He worked in another state. When I started the Cisco campus had 4 buildings and just over 1000 employees. When I left one building and under 500 people working that location. I was on sight support for that network but when Cisco downsized they moved most of the data centers to Dallas."

"I have worked for Cisco Systems for over 14 years. Great company from a financial perspective and the people are very strong technically. The company continues to be a strong player in the network. I have learned a lot about routing and data networking. The biggest disappointment is career growth as it relates to senior level opportunities, the company is growing but in a very limited fashion. Senior opportunities are limited and it does matter who you know, especially in remote locations."
