Working for a for a truly Global Company and exposure that you can only get in handful of companies around the world. Great compensation, benefits etc.
Great office space and vibrant campus at Bengaluru. Unfortunately, most of my tenure was during COVID 19 and couldn't enjoy the benefits. Extremely employee friendly policies especially for the tech guys, not so much for the support functions like Finance which I was a part of....Read More

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.
Dislikes
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.

I like the Campus and work culture at Cisco.
Dislikes
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.
Dislikes
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.
