Cisco culture

Wondering about the culture at Cisco. Was surprised to see such great ratings on Glassdoor. What is it like day to day? Do they have the perks like food and events etc?

Cisco is old age home. So you can guess the culture.

Are the offices at least nice

Cisco vjBh45 Jun 26, 2019

It's not bad in the alpha project I'm in. Free snacks, fruit, etc.

Cisco kiaw Jun 26, 2019

Which alpha project ?BU? TC?

Cisco vjBh45 Jun 26, 2019

Don't want to reveal which one. TC 175k 1 yoe

Ok so it’s not a dungeon good to know 😂

Constantly worrying about layoffs and if you will be on the next LR list. Pay cuts to base salaries, lack of raises or cost of living increases very often, poor or no RSU grants and refreshers, and no the offices are not amazing. In todays market I would look elsewhere to be honest.

What office are you at?

Cognizant FlashX Jun 29, 2019

Still you are working there ? And complaining

Palo Alto Networks QtYK33 Jun 26, 2019

I agree, unless u r one pay check away from losing ur home or your last meal, avoid Cisco.

Mid/older tenure employees seem to absolutely hate the culture.. but the recent hires seem to be doing okay for now

Amazon fumbledore OP Jun 27, 2019

Curious. The people who commented on not liking the culture where are you at in your careers? Sometimes there is some context needed

LinkedIn jhfcg Jun 27, 2019

No matter what context you take, cisco is shit hole..I have many friends who joined and left within 1 or 2 years. Cisco is where lifers are working and slowly eating away the company bit by bit.

Amazon fumbledore OP Jun 27, 2019

Thanks for the input. Very helpful. What offices are talking about? Or does it even matter office to office, product to product?

Amazon fumbledore OP Jun 27, 2019

That’s because I like to have data. Right now there is conflicting data. Glassdoor has very high reviews. Don’t be rude

Cisco VKFU58 Jun 27, 2019

Glassdoor is not accurate or trustworthy. The data there is not accurate for large corporations.

Amazon fumbledore OP Jun 28, 2019

Cool thanks for that. Super helpful

Cisco 9547 Jun 28, 2019

I like here (Cisco). But the promo is slow. You need to jump between these network companies. TC 250K G10.

Cisco pee-see Jun 28, 2019

Wow I’m also g10 but not 250.. mind sharing your breakdown?

The culture is Indian.
