Cisco

The quality and qualifications of Cisco employees are extremely high, and the competitive atmosphere drives innovation, collaboration, and working to "go the extra mile".

Cisco also drives a culture of fairness, diversity, collaboration, and results that are "second to none".

We also have the most energetic and motivational CEO in the world!

The compensation is mediocre, with base salaries just above the industry median, and the stock is flat. We are falling way behind the industry.

As mentioned many times, the company demands a lot out of its employees. The new culture of collaboration leads me to my day job of attending 6-8 meetings each day, and my night job is reading email.

We are driving our business at break-neck speeds, and I don't see the same focus and attention on the people aspect of the business as we did say 5-7 years ago.

It is a stressful environment to work in, but I love my job... sigh.

It's a company of many type A personalities. Is the human body capable of keeping up this Cisco-pace?

Please don't overlook the human aspect of the job, and let's ensure we take care of our people.
