Great company to work for with a competitive salary and great benefits, but promotion is slow
Cisco offers competitive starting salaries and great benefits. The company provides free coffee, drinks, and popcorn.
Management is very flexible with the work schedule. Most engineers get in the office between 9-10 am and work from home about once a week.
Vacation time is generous, and requests are rarely denied.
Because projects are always getting canceled, it is very hard to get a salary increase or promotion since you keep reporting to different managers.
Most companies give a 3-5% salary increase if you meet expectations, but I have been working for Cisco for over 2 years and my salary remains the same.
Keep up the good work!
