2 of 5 people found this helpful

Cisco Systems Software Engineer II in San Jose, CA:   (Current Employee)

Pros

I enjoyed good benefits, and flexible working hours. I go in the office at 10 and go home at 6.

Cons

Company layoffs are frequent. If you are considering to work for Cisco, make sure that you are working on a good product.

Advice to Senior Management

Leadership is secretive and not enough information gets trickled down to the engineers. Second level managers are usually hollow and do not reach out to employees.

I think what you meant to say is that middle management have no social skills and you wonder how they ever get the responsibility of managing people.

Enjoy it while you can, because they will never give you a raise or promotion unless you are willing to suck d*ck.
