Cisco - an OK company to work for, nothing more, nothing less
Cisco - an OK company to work for, nothing more, nothing less
World-renowned company, everyone knows the name.
Many extremely intelligent, knowledgeable employees.
Numerous training courses are available to further career options, both within and outside of Cisco.
Brilliant IT infrastructure, with great support and technical resources second to none.
Certain benefits include free drinks, good medical plans, and good retirement funding plans.
Salary below industry standards. Grading and salary increases are awarded in a staggered manner (promoted first, then paid more "at some stage").
Growing trend towards extreme frugality is becoming bothersome. Benefits are slowly being taken away in various theatres across the globe (Asia Pacific reducing bottle waste – no more juices or bottled water).
Show employees some of the money you are making. Travel expenses and conditions are ludicrous (absurdly cheap hotels/motels).
