Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI have been working at Cisco Systems full-time for more than a year
Pros
As mentioned, great flexi time. Work from home. Salary is good, good bonus.
Cons
Plenty of red tape. Big company a lot of in house competition. The usual workplace politics. There is a lot of process involved in the development side. Complete micro management of tasks using the agile process. Hard to move up the ranks, a lot of competition and not as many promotions available. Benefits have been cut this year. The bonus is not guaranteed. Managers need to listen to the tech leads/architects more.

International environment, amazing lecturers and a save environment where you can learn from everybody.

After finishing your degree/master, this is an amazing opportunity to start working for a unbelievable company surrounded by young, active people. Definetly a experience to remember for years.
Cons
Selection process is quite intense, you will compete with the best of the best in your country. Being such a big company, sometimes you are overwhelmed by the amount of info, tools, processes and solutions available

Cisco takes care of its employees. It has a fantastic values-based culture that is evident throughout the organization. There are many opportunities to move departments or take on different challenges and grow your career. Would highly recommend working here.
Cons
Like any big company, things move slowly. There is a lot of overhead when operating a company of this size, which can be frustrating to some, but that is par for the course for any Fortunat 500.

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at Cisco Systems full-time for more than 8 years
Pros
One of the best parts of Cisco's culture is the focus on driving results. Leadership isn't concerned with how you structure your day or where you work as long as you accomplish your goals. Strategy cascades down from leadership empowering everyone to be able to make decisions that tie back to the company goals and customer success. It's a fast moving, hard working company that rewards employees based on success.
Cons
It's a big company, you might be a high performer and have accomplished great things in the past but if you move to a new org it can be like you are starting a new job.
