Long Tenure, Seeking New Path
Long Tenure, Seeking New Path
First job after college. Been there for the last 10 years. Looking for a change of career as Cisco stock sucks.
Stock performance is bad. The company has too many politics to get serious work done. The company is too management-heavy and has too few engineers to do the actual job.
Very management-heavy company. Too many politics. Engineer engagement and morale is low. Career growth is zero. Stop stock buybacks and start worrying about shareholder value.

Hiring at Cisco was a smooth process, taking about two weeks from the interview to the offer letter. The HR representative and the Engineering Manager were very proactive in following up and ensuring the candidate could start as quickly as possible.
