Pros
  • If you are lucky, you will get industry-leading feature/product development work.
  • Flexible work. Your manager will not ask for your day-to-day or even weekly progress. It's up to you how to manage your time. You just need to meet the final timelines.
Cons

Though it is an MNC, HR resourcing work is outsourced to local HR companies. They try every trick to hire you with less pay.

They fix the grade and pay based on your present pay. So, if you were working in the same company for, say, 10 years, you would lose out here. Job hoppers' salaries would be higher at this point, and it seems Cisco welcomes them with good pay :(

Advice to Management

If you are hiring someone who spent a good amount of years in one organization, chances are that their base salary will be low compared to job hoppers. Keep this in mind and provide them an advantage, placing them in an appropriate grade and pay scale.
