Pros

Cisco has great medical benefits, including their own doctors/dentists/optometrists' office and pharmacy.

Cons

My group was recently forced to RTO 4+ days a week. Upper management is not open to any feedback about how this is negatively impacting employees' lives and just says, “Oh, everyone loves it.” My group also got a new director who is encouraging people to snitch on one another if they suspect others aren’t working a full 40 hours a week. There has also been a huge lack of transparency when it comes to layoffs. They told us layoffs were over in March and had another notable round of layoffs two weeks ago.

Advice to Management

Stop micromanaging and listen to employees' feedback.
