Company Closed this process and asked their employee to look of other opportunities, within organization or outside organization. This process was closed in 10 month period or it's kickoff.
Company is quite brutal in taking Layoff decisions. Too many and too often change in Executive leadership and processes.

Apart from the extensive and career-building training I received at Cisco Systems from Cisco-certified trainers, I got to meet and work with some of the creme de la creme of people from similar industries and positions as I was. I have no complaints about the job security at Cisco - works the same as every other transnational corporation operating in India. The more people you know personally, the more secure your job is. Career growth is not as great as one would expect to be but the appraisals, salaries, job perks, and work incentives are great working at Cisco. The work culture here is second to none. It is like finding water after wandering for weeks in the desert. I cannot think of another workplace in Bangalore, India with such brilliant work culture. If you are looking to work in a place where employees are treated equally across all spectrum, Cisco is the place to be....Read More
Cisco takes ages to convert employees to work on their payrolls. Despite the work effort, diligence, and adherence to work and HR policies, exceptional performance at work, Cisco does not make the effort to convert employees easily. Another downside to working at Cisco is - you do not always get to work at Cisco. They make you work for Cisco sometimes. This is the most annoying bit where you have to work from different locations - although within the city - but the change in work location, shit timings, and facilities does a lot of harm to the work-life balance that was once available at Cisco....Read More
It's the best - long as you work in Cisco, not for Cisco.

The Managers are not well trained in their new roles, I faced severe discrimination from an African American Manager. Absence of clear goals and objectives and micromanagement and no development discussions in my case. They throw you like a vegetable if you raise your voice… so I am not sure of what inclusivity they refer to.

Great culture, nice people, all round employee benefits. They care not just about employee, but also your whole family, insurance is great, has a health care within office, good doctors, great Gym's, cafeteria is awesome. Lot of sports facilities and supportive culture.
Work wise since its a big organisations, you should be lucky enough to get good work, else its mostly maintaining and adding few features on already existing code base. But they do support you with learning, for that you need to spend extra hours apart from your daily job to learn extra.

Excellent company at top level, better than service companies and also many product companies
Some projects use legacy tech and also many old timers are simply coasting with no updation and hence full pressure on new lateral folks

I like the Campus and work culture at Cisco.
Until you resign, managers will not recognize your worth. Pay is less when compared with competitors. Promotions happen rarely. Managers will not allow you to take leaves.

Slow paced environment. Good WLB. Pretty good job security if you work in a product which makes revenue.
Very poor career growth. Below market salaries and no hike/promotion for high performers. No encouragement for better performance. Mix of average and poor quality engineers, not a good place for people who are ambitious about their careers.
