Great benefits, bad leadership
Great benefits, bad leadership
The benefits are amazing. You really can't beat them.
- 4% match to 401k
- Deferred salary at Director and above
- Health care benefits are pretty unmatched
Usually working with great people.
Cisco can't get out of its own way. Upper leadership has such wide mandates they have no idea what's going on but try to shove different things together because they think it fits into their view of what Cisco should be.
I saw projects that should have happened get killed when leadership changes, only to have it later brought up as "oh, we should do that." Everyone pats themselves on the back for being so smart, but the people that can do the work have left at that point.

There were two coding rounds and one technical round; overall, a pleasant experience. There was a long time between application submission and when the interviewing process began, but the interviewing process was completed in a few weeks.
