Cisco

Exposure to latest technologies. Excellent work from home option. Half-yearly bonus. Recognition in terms of RSU, gift vouchers, and much more. Salary on the 25th of every month or the last weekday before the 25th. Quarterly team outing or lunch. Stock purchase option. Fun activities. Sponsored training. Medical insurance covers parents as well. Company transport at a very subsidized rate. Manager feedback, etc.

Be ready to be fired any time. Quarterly results play a vital role. Cisco is well renowned for networking and firing. Annual appraisal depends on your business unit. You will get used to hearing headcount reduction, business unit sale, or some acquisitions quite often. Appraisal is only single-digit. Performance doesn't matter when it comes to firing. I feel sad for my fellow colleagues losing jobs.

You are doing a great job.

Don't fire employees for business reasons.

Give them an option to change business units.
