Cisco Talent Acquisition salaries in India

Likes

Cisco has been a dream company to work with and when I was given the opportunity just grabbed it. Spent more than 5 years in the company and had joined here on a contract basis later converted to a regular employee. Overall it is a great company to work with great culture and work life balance. Due to some issues had to leave the company otherwise thought of being in the company for 10+ years minimum.

Dislikes

... compensation provided initially is good, but that does not grow over the years. I was more or less in the same salary for close to 4 years which is a major drawback

Good benefits and salary levels. Flexible working with hybrid culture. Innovation is encouraged.

Dislikes

Extremely manager driven culture. You have a Godmother or Godfather, your career is made. However, if you don't, then it is all based on the rapport you strike with your stakeholders. No clarity of career paths and goals for most roles. Growth is limited. No clear defined processes on performance and appraisals. Most important at this stage, job security is a question mark. Leadership changes with too much ambiguity on future path.
