Pros
BFPWGP or Best Freaking Place to Work, Grow and Play!
I have been with Cisco for 11 years and I am truly excited each day because I have an opportunity to think about my current role, my opportunity to grow and most important my value to the community and believe it or not earth.
In my role, i have learned so much about the importance of Sustainability and how WE need to sever the umbilical cord to Mother Earth. Cisco creates conscious citizens that are culturally responsible and push beyond their wildest imagination. I encourage you to find an opportunity here at Cisco, I promise you will have a lasting career. #LoveWhereYouWork.Cons
There is a lack of diversity in Cisco although great strides being made. we have a ways to go. i encourage to explore more diversity at the mid level management level.
Advice to Management
Continue to develop and improve diversity at the mid level management level. This only enhances the diverse perspectives for our Company.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Cisco Systems full-time (More than 5 years)
Pros
Enterprise level Private Cloud Environment at WebEx - Cisco Collaboration Group, World Famous Brand.
Cons
No growth for Individual Contributors. No Recognition of dedicated hard work. Management only looks after their growth - they will say one thing and do something else.
Very political and negative (back-stabbing) culture within groups.
Severance package denied!Advice to Management
Create an environment that promotes growth of all honest workers.
Don't listen ONLY to your 'yes' men and women - it will only get you so far.Cisco Systems 2017-08-17 22:24 PDT![Cisco Systems Logo]()

Pros
Great place to work, good healthy environment. Investing in the future and trying to shift their focus to Software successfully.
Cons
Cisco professional services do not have the investment $$ and the execution to keep up with the direction Cisco as a company is moving.
Advice to Management
Align services with rest of the company direction and make some investments in it.

BFPWGP - you created a new acronym! Glad you feel that way - eleven years speaks that, too! You're right, diversity is key to a successful company - and I'm also seeing much more focus from Cisco in that area. Thanks for your review!... MoreLess
