Cisco

Work-life balance is a challenge. As for real work, the food is good, and the premises are nice. It's a big company where it's easy to get lost.

If you join a bad team, you will be compared with an existing 15-years experience person from day 1 until you die or leave the company.

Here, the manager is god; whatever he says is the final statement.

There is no real interaction or coordination between HR and management, higher management, and the employee. It's just you and the manager until you are working with the company.

Firing is like a game for Cisco. I hear more firing and hiring, so you can think about how employee-friendly this company is.

Don't go blindly with the Glassdoor rating; contact your close ones working there and then decide.

Hire the right candidate, rather than randomly hiring and firing.

Have frequent interaction with employees to discuss their pain and resolve them.
