Cisco - an OK company to work for, nothing more, nothing less
Software Engineer I • Current Employee
San Jose, California, United States
June 11, 2008
Pros: World-renowned company, everyone knows the name.
Many extremely intelligent, knowledgeable employees.
Numerous training courses are available to further career options, both within and outside of Cisco.
Brilliant IT infrastructure, with great support and technical resources second to none.
Certain benefits include free drinks, good medical plans, and good retirement funding plans.
Cons: Salary below industry standards. Grading and salary increases are awarded in a staggered manner (promoted first, then paid more "at some stage").
Growing trend towards extreme frugality is becoming bothersome. Benefits are slowly being taken away in various theatres across the globe (Asia Pacific reducing bottle waste – no more juices or bottled water).

Software Engineer I • Current Employee
Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
June 19, 2013
Pros: As of now, no pros other than Cisco tag.
Cons: All NDS benefits were removed without increasing pay.
We are not hiring people, leading to too much work pressure and the expectation that people will work 24 hours.

A great place to settle down

Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

Pros: The work in the company is highly dependent on the team you are in. If you are lucky, you get a good team and good work. Else, you might only get backend jobs. The company is a great place if you want to go for higher studies, as the flexibility they provide in work is amazing.
Cons: Learning is very slow, and you don't get to work on many new things, but on a few things.
