Good place to work, but you may get fired anytime!
Good place to work, but you may get fired anytime!
- Good Salary
- Good Campus
- Good Work-Life Balance
- Good Benefits
- Management is ruthless; they may shut down teams and divisions if they don't generate enough revenue.
- Acquire and Fire Policy.
- There may not be a salary hike every year. (No hike for the past 2 years).
- Your immediate manager decides your rating, bonus, hike, and everything else. There is no peer review or reverse review. This may not be a good thing if you and your manager aren't on good terms.
-
Need to adapt to new technologies faster rather than fall behind and lose business.
-
Instead of firing whole departments/teams, selective firing must be followed. There are so many bright, talented people just in the wrong place at the wrong time getting fired for no fault of theirs.
-
Don't just look at revenue and shut down teams; try to revive them. Try to change your market strategies to turn them into profitable businesses.
-
Top management needs to buckle up. Acquiring and then realizing that the acquisition wasn't worth the money paid is happening way too often at Cisco.
