This company needs to improve the way it handles women leaders – now!
Opportunities to manage large teams and complex problems. This company does very interesting engineering work.
Female engineering leaders are consistently discriminated against in this company. I know several women engineering managers who complain of being overloaded, under-leveled, and underpaid as compared to their male counterparts in the same org, doing exactly the same work, and sometimes even having a larger team. I know several anecdotes of male senior managers engaging in gender-discriminatory behavior and comments when it comes to compensation, growth, acknowledging achievements, and providing actionable feedback.
Instead of supporting women in leadership and encouraging growth, Cisco is consistently burning women leaders out. Go ahead and count the number of women who are at least one-level skip managers in an engineering team in Cisco. Hint - you may be able to count them on your fingertips.
Don't burn your women engineering leaders out.
Give them equal pathways to grow.

The interviewer was not sincere and was playing with his dog the whole time. I couldn't understand how this person had become director. The questions seemed aimed at proving what you don't know rather than what you do know.
