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.

1. Cisco has a great work culture and their programs for employee care is unparalleled.
2. One can learn a lot using their complimentary access to a host of portals from Udemy to LinkedIn Learning to Cisco Networking Academy
3. The product management practice is well defined
4. Work from home option
5. Internet reimbursement
6. Pay is on par with other big MNC
7. RSU and ESOP plans are attractive
Dislikes
1. Job Security - at least 2 or 3 limited restructuring takes place per year
2. Work life balance can sometimes take a hit due to pressure - again it depends on teams/managers
3. Employee medical insurance for India needs to improve in terms of networked hospitals for cashless payment

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.

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.
