1. The training provided at Cisco is top notch.
2. The work-life balance is great. Nobody is bound to follow strict timings.
3. The compensation and company policies are aligned as per the benefits of the employees.
Dislikes
1. Employees at Cisco are highly vulnerable to get fired any given day.
2. Cisco might suddenly sell off a particular BU to a service based company without giving proper compensation.
Work Details
The work was quality work, mostly coding and understanding the logic. It was not about same mundane routine debugging tasks.

American company is good, employees are good. Indian management is greedy and cruel, not even qualified.
Dislikes
Indian management is greedy, cruel and not even qualified. Management don't have any technical skills. They are staying back at Indian office for 10, 20, 30 years and looting the whole money. Employees are good, they work hard but only bootlickers get promotions and hikes. Else Indian management will play politics and will cause you to quit from Cisco Systems India.
Work Details
Stupid management at Cisco Systems India, equivalent to wolves, foxes and owls.

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.
