Cisco

Cisco is a company that is leading the way for the next generation of communications. They have an excellent executive team that communicates a consistent vision down the reporting chain. During the current struggles, they are adapting, finding ways to reduce expenses without layoffs. While there is some job loss at Cisco, I feel it is not as great as at other companies.

Cisco also believes in a comprehensive compensation package, constantly checking the industry to ensure fair compensation.

During the downturn, decisions about letting folks go were not always based on performance, but geography. If at a remote CONUS site, I feel you were more exposed than if you worked in SJC.

Continue to invest in new technologies and expanding your product portfolio.

Ensure that remote CONUS employees feel connected by maximizing communications.
