Profitability or Layoff
Profitability or Layoff
Good remuneration and numerous benefits (works council, ESPP, etc.).
Remote work facilitated and good atmosphere.
No Cisco investment in the R&D department for several years, no clear long-term strategy.
Massive disengagement from activities that are "not profitable enough" (ROI <30%) with repeated layoffs and social plans for the employees concerned (3 in 3 years with a turnover of over 50%).
Cisco fait la publicité de ses investissements en France, mais la réalité en est très éloignée.
