H1B Visa nepotism is rampant
Flexible work. Work-life balance (depending on the team). Mostly positive experience with past coworkers.
Work-life balance is very team-dependent. H1B visa nepotism is rampant. Two or three rounds of layoffs each year. Cisco no longer innovates; they just cut costs to keep the stock price afloat.
Focus more on product innovation. Hire more Americans. Stop the H1B visa abuse. Lots of opportunities for growth.
