Great company, great customers, great culture
Cisco is reinventing itself. I came in through an acquisition, and it's been a fantastic experience. There's a lot of opportunity to move around Cisco if you get tired of doing what you're doing after a few years.
Company needs to be more HR flexible on comp, grades, etc. As a manager, it's tough to do what we need to recruit and retain great talent. Most policies are designed for a 70,000-person company, which is fine, but there needs to be way more flexibility around exceptions for exceptional people.
Make more decisions more quickly. A speedboat corrects faster than an aircraft carrier.
