Allowing work from home depends on your manager.
There are lots of social events around the year and one team lunch quarterly.
There are opportunities to take courses provided by Cisco.
Cisco exams and certifications are free.
Salary is the issue.
Medium to low salary compared to other big companies.
No free food except during socials.
Recognition for your work is not that great.
