Pros
Great people - everyone is extremely helpful, receptive to new people, shadowing for different roles is easily accomplished
Lunch/breakfast onsite - puts the word "cafeteria" in its place as it a food oasis in a desert of boring options
Opportunities for advancement are tremendous as well as potential to move across the USACons
Small things but from where I live and what I've experienced:
TP location can be good or bad depending on where you live
If you're not a fan of Las Vegas you may not enjoy being there for 3 days every august (but if you love Las Vegas then
Organization can seem a little disjointed, coming from an organization of 200 people to one with 18k just in sales things that came easy like HR requests, websites to find information can be daunting initially, and small employee changes and what seem like mundane processes take a lot more time than seems necessary - a lot of red tape...
Several members of the SLT team in San Jose has left recently which can be slight uneasy but overall vision has remained stableAdvice to Management
Continue to work with employees on their personal goals and work on steps to get there
Continue to look internally for new ideas and superstars to help lead the sales teamsCisco Systems 2018-09-21 09:14 PDT![Cisco Systems Logo]()

Pros
Cisco has made a huge investment in bringing a strengths-based approach to our culture and is backing it up in a myriad of ways - from processes that help leaders give the right kind of attention to their employees to investing in self-led learning for employees so every individual can continue to develop and grow in areas that are energizing for them. It is in the midst of a very exciting transformation with reinventing the Network, enabling a multi-cloud world, unlocking the power of data to inform AI, and deploying security everywhere. All this and amazing sustainability and giving back programs. The culture is amazing.
Cons
Like many organizations of this size there can be challenges with finding the right opportunities and being able to move with agility through the changes we are making.
Advice to Management
Stay focused on the amazing cultural foundation that is in place - the People Deal - the listening mechanisms and continue to act swiftly to stay at pace with the transformation of the way that work gets done in our world today.
