Cisco Systems - Dissatisfied

Pros

Stable company – could spend your life and retire in peace.

But it has lost all its charm of the good old 90's.

Cons

Not enough employee development opportunities. Not a fair promotion process. Employees are not rewarded for good work. Long-standing, loyal employees are starved for promotion while those that come in with an acquisition get a jump. Overall low employee morale!

Advice to Management

Start recognizing employees for good work.

Stop scaling back on benefits.

Shutting off electricity at 5:00 pm is a bad idea. It doesn't provide an environment to succeed.

Recognizing employees for 5 years of service with 1 glass ball, 10 years of service with 2 glass balls, and 15 years of service with 3 glass balls was ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!!!
