Name recognition. Leader in industry.
My managers were cordial, but I often felt alienated compared to my Indian peers. It was a discouraging feeling.
Not diverse. If you're not from India and the Middle East, you're excluded from promotions and favoritism.
Managers are not properly trained. If you're technically strong and want to be a manager, you will be one. That should not be the only prerequisite to lead a team. Proper management training is a must.
Your software engineering teams are not diverse. Cisco India is like Cisco San Jose. Need to hire or train more non-Indian and non-Middle Eastern employees.
Alienation and favoritism for folks from the same countries in the world is horrendous. That's a large clue.
