...re and the employees are very helpful to bring you up to the track once we join. Wonderful work-life balance and compensation. Would love getting a permanent role in Cisco. Still, not yet time to comment about Appraisal as i joined recently, but for me as a senior, it doesn't make much difference as the perspectives change after a certain years of experience :)
