Cisco

Feel like home because most of the leadership are Indian.

If you are Indian and on the right food-chain, you will move up faster because we have strong allies here.

Good balance of work and life.

We have extremely loyal customers.

Friendly environment for H1-visa holders.

Presentation and talk are more important than building things because we buy instead of build.

Overall compensation is not as good as top-tier companies like Google or Facebook.

However, the hourly rate is better than Google and Facebook because, on average, you work less than 6 hours, as most of the products are extremely mature.

It takes around 6+ years to get a green card.

There are annual layoffs.

Luckily, most of the time, they don't cut H1-visa holders.

Too many reorganizations, sometimes it takes longer to move up.
