Smart Team, Stressed Life
Smart Team, Stressed Life
Work with the smartest folks in the networking industry, and be constantly challenged. Cisco embodies a culture of "getting it done," albeit through the medium of constant escalation (you'll either survive, or wither and die through stress). It's a fast-paced and stimulating environment.
Work/life balance is badly skewed. Benefits are slowly being eroded as the company drives for increased shareholder "profitability".
Cascade trust in the organization and relinquish control. Learn when to say no.

Coding interview: 1. Regular expression matching 2. String with a common prefix 3. Reverse a doubly linked list in better than O(n) time. The interviewer was nice and friendly. The whole process was smooth and professional.
