Cisco

Good for work-life balance. I never had too much work.

• To 4 job, sometimes had to attend interviews at night.

Awesome campus. AC Innova cabs for transport. Loads of events to win goodies. Training sessions at the company's cost.

Everything is in the manager's hands. If you are on good terms with the manager, you get good work; otherwise, you always end up with junk work.

Very tough to get promotions.

Salary hikes are almost never. If you are joining, negotiate a very good package, joining bonus, etc., while joining itself.

If you take sabbatical leave, you need to find a team on your own and go through 6+ rounds of tough interviews again, though you are still an employee.

Use employees' skills properly; everyone might not perform every time. Give a chance to prove their capabilities.
