Push yourself. Cisco isn't going to push you
Push yourself. Cisco isn't going to push you
- No clocking in hours
- Flexible WFH options
- Bursts of high pressure work and low pressure work
- No push for innovative ideas.
- Irregular hike/promotion cycles.
- Streamlined towards a single technology.
- Lack of preemptive career advice towards meeting expectations: They tell you that they expected more after the hike/promo cycles are finalized, and not anything regarding performance prior to that.
When you claim to aim to be the #1 IT company in the world, act like it.
Stop bragging about driving innovation while innovative talent is not respected locally and ideas aren't enthusiastically publicized outside the BU and not allowed to permeate to the upper levels.
Also, stop the passive-aggressive hike/promo monopoly where management tells the employees that they're falling behind after six months of being quiet.
