Cisco Systems Employee Reviews for Technical Consultant

"Excellent company and excellent to work for in the correct position."

What do you like about working at Cisco Systems?

"It is a great company, and very inventive. They encouraged creativity and treated their employees as the most important people in the company."

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

"Emphasize your desire to work as a team member, rather than an individual."

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

"At the time, there was a requirement to beat analysts' EPS estimates by .01/share each month regardless of the impact to the customer - this could mean pre-shipping uncommitted orders, or holding back others for the next month."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"I am in no position to give advice to the senior management of Cisco. They are one of the very few companies that I feel has been run as a first class company since I started interacting with them almost 20 years ago. They have had their ups and downs, but I still have the utmost respect for their senior management. And I can't say that for many companies."
