Cisco is yet another large company
Good telecommuting program and benefits.
Some of the best engineers in the field work here and still enjoy the work.
Highly political. Takes too long for decisions. Kiss-ass culture for better ranking and promotion.
Dictatorial executive management in some BUs. Sr. management clueless. Experience and results don't count for compensation and promotion.
Try to listen to engineers and line managers and recognize results. With the current R&R system, it won't be too long before Cisco loses talented engineers.
