Great perks, slow growth, does not like to challenge the status quo
Great perks, slow growth, does not like to challenge the status quo
Great perks Above-average compensation Work from home (WFH) Good technical exposure
The work gets hectic sometimes. Most of the time, you will end up working 10-12 hours a day. Your life becomes Cisco if you are not careful.
Slow growth, especially when you join in Grade 8. This is a crowded grade, and you will have to wait till eternity to get promoted.
Yes, sir culture. If you challenge the decision of your manager, you are screwed, and your growth will be hampered.
Overall, perks used to be great but not anymore. They are taking away benefits one by one. Maybe in the future, it will not have as many perks as it used to.
Have a transparent appraisal system. Management takes its own decisions regarding promotion and growth and does not feel the need to inform engineers. No HR exists at Cisco to take care of your issues, so try to have one if you care.
