Communication at Sr. levels seems to be limited which results in 3-4 approaches being taken by people on the same program as they support their functional boss over the program boss."

"Embrace Cross Functional IPTs where personnel report to Program Managers for direction on business approach. You need to manage the expectations and goals of the Program Managers, and let them manage the people."

This is what is bringing down the University of MiamI and making the best of its people leave and find jobs at competitive institutions."

What suggestions do you have for management?
"Empower, delegate, trust - lead by example. Defend my employees, promote from the inside, set clear expectations and set accountability - set consequences for individuals that do not collaborate and do not meet deadline and quality when they could have."

What do you like about working at Cisco Systems?
"In Cisco you work with the cutting edge technologies - always up to date. Working remotely - almost every day is a great perk too (Cisco IT only)."
Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?
"Personally, I had terrible experiences with both the recruiters and the hiring managers - although I was a pretty higher-grade employee (higher than hiring managers!) at Cisco and recently got laid-off. They never contact you after the interviews unless they hire somebody, I suppose. They simply treat you like trash - although you were a Cisco employee recently. I remember, before I got the job at Cisco, I had a file written to complain (email) against the recruiter/s and hiring manager/s. But it was way back when, when the economy was NOT as it is today!"
What don't you like about working at Cisco Systems?
"Managers - unfortunately I have rarely seen a company where the managers are so worthless! You always have to say yes sir, yes sir, to get the bonus but learn nothing from them, but get orders only. I have worked for half a dozen companies globally and I know what I am talking about!"
What suggestions do you have for management?
"Weed out worthless managers with qualified ones. In Cisco, there are managers without any portfolio - nobody reports to them, and directors who do not have even any team to direct. Seriously!"

What do you like about working at United States Air Force?
"Benefits (time off, good health care plan, retirement plan). Job security."
Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?
"The hiring process is so automated that you likely will never get interviewed even if you get the job. Find someone who is already working in the job you want and have them help you tailor your resume to include the buzzwords that the HR robots are looking for."
What don't you like about working at United States Air Force?
"Dreary work facilities and a lack of career growth opportunities."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"I'd ask VP Biden to pick up some of the slack. Being Prez is hard work. But seriously, I'd try to find some way to retain and reward my most skilled and motivated employees. Young managers should be given the opportunity to change jobs every 2 or 3 years to build their skill set and keep things interesting. There should be more internal movement within the government. Pigeon holing individuals into the same mundane tasks for a 30 year career make for a stagnant and dull work place."
