Flexible, Learning, Older Vibe
You get the sense that Cisco really cares about its employees. At the individual contributor level, they provide lots of flexibility (no strict 9-5 hours, possibility to work remotely, etc.) to ensure that employees feel comfortable and valued.
Cisco has been around for a while and is a good place to learn and grow as a professional engineer at a large company.
It will depend on your team assignment, but the overall atmosphere at Cisco is geared towards older and more established professionals. As a fresh grad straight out of college, it can be a bit of a culture mismatch, but everyone is still incredibly nice and easy to work with.
