Great work-life balance. The ability to work from home depends on the team and is permitted if there is a genuine need. There are plenty of free resources available for skill development.
Due to recent layoffs, job security is uncertain. Promotions and salary increases have been impacted and are lower compared to other competitors.

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

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.

everyone at Cisco is so encouraging, I like my job there. It is an excellent location for growth and contribution because of the cooperative atmosphere and sense of teamwork.
My experience with Cisco has been excellent, especially the supportive work environment. I haven't found any major drawbacks, as the company provides great opportunities for growth and collaboration.

Great culture, excellent work-life balance. Generous time-offs, flexible working.
No job security, frequent restructuring resulting in job cuts. No regular hikes. Difficult to get promoted beyond senior engineer level.

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.

Volunteering opportunities and self paced learning
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.
