Cisco Salaries in Chennai (Updated 2025)

Likes

- Good work life balance - Flexible hybrid work

Dislikes

- Salary hikes are very bad. Even if you join with very low pay, market correction never happens for existing employees. New hires get 300% more than you. - Average pay is not competitive with other big tech companies like Walmart and KLA. - Leadership worries about number of women in promoted position, due to which during appraisal, women might get preference over male employees (Typical feminism in most corporate companies). - Promotions never happen. Career progress would feel stagnant.

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.

Dislikes

Due to recent layoffs, job security is uncertain. Promotions and salary increases have been impacted and are lower compared to other competitors.

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.
