Cafeteria prices, Amenities like games within campus, Health insurance.
Poor management, office location, no work life balance, best company on paper only. Everyone inside is struggling to talk to management to improve their work life and culture but no one can speak. Pathetic attitude of existing employees who are staying for more than 10+ years.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
