Pros

Good workplace amenities.

Good training opportunities.

Good collaboration tools.

Emphasis on collaboration as a core value.

Cons

No sense of commitment to American workers. Budget and bottom line drive everything.

The Cisco engineering employee pool seems overwhelmingly Asian and not very diverse.

Advice to Management

Invest in and hire more workers in the United States.

Recognize and reward more than just the superheroes in the employee population.
