Pros

Flexible work policies, leaves, and an unparalleled work atmosphere.

For tech geeks, the sky is the only limit.

Friendly HR policies and approachable staff.

Cons

Due to the mass migration of people from service industries to Cisco, policies are being changed gradually.

Micro monitoring is gradually increasing in all teams, causing a toxic environment.

Venomous people try poisoning the minds of superiors to play their cards.

Vertical movement from one grade to another is very slow due to a high volume of same-grade performers.

Top management's vision is not clear, and roadmaps are not very clear down the line.

Very frequent, limited restructuring causes anxiety in people's minds quarter on quarter.

Advice to Management

Keep the work culture clean and help bring back its transparency.
