Top Flexibility, but Culture Politics Determines What You Work On
Top Flexibility, but Culture Politics Determines What You Work On
Top Flexibility, okay pay (below avg)
Culture politics determines what you work on. Especially if you are a minority (not Indian or White), there seem to be cultural "cliques" that play into favorability. In addition, Cisco's political neutrality generates a lack of culture, particularly for younger employees seeking companies that stand for something.
Focus on business AND culture change. One will die without the other, and we don't focus enough on culture.
The youth are the future of Cisco. Many of our employees will be retired in 20 years (and the majority of our leadership), and we need to innovate for the future, not the present.

It was a very logical and straightforward process. We did not waste any time. The questions made sense, and it seemed like a good place to work. Emails and responses came very quickly, which I am thankful for.

Two rounds. One behavioral, one technical. Fairly simple questions about operating systems and the projects I was working on in college, as well as the organizations that I led. Resume read-through.

Applied through LinkedIn. HR contacted me and scheduled an interview. The first telephonic interview went well, and I was asked for a face-to-face interview.
