OK place to work to start out
OK place to work to start out
Cisco pays well and is a very recognizable name in the tech sector that looks good on resumes. The San Jose area is also pretty rockin'.
Also, lots of different areas of expertise to choose from:
- Hardware
- Software
- Low-level and high-level programming opportunities are offered.
Plus, you get to choose your own team in the Cisco Choice program.
San Jose is a very expensive place to live, and even though they pay well, it sometimes seems like it is not enough.
It is a big corporation, so it can be difficult to earn personal recognition or advance the ladder.
I have not had that much experience with senior management.

I completed two phone interviews. They asked basic questions, and nothing was too difficult. The interview mostly focused on past experience. It seemed a little impersonal, almost as if they were reading from a script.
