A recruiter reached out to about a Marketing Demand Generation role at Cisco. But, I've heard mixed things about working there: churn in the workforce, owning to its outsized use of contractors; slow product innovation; militant focus on quarterly results; etc. Is what I'm hearing accurate? What are the pros/cons of working at Cisco, generally?
Don’t do it been here 12 years and it’s atrocious. The CMO was fired and the marketing Org is about to get gutted.
Run!! Work there for 6 months and it was the worst experience ever..
Did she mention how we are the best workplace in the world?
I got LRed a few months ago. The pay was alright (220k TC G10), the severance package was also nice (3 month salary), however there are politics going on, and the pace is fairly slow. You should go to other places if you are young.
How long you work there to get 3 months severance?

Stay away unless you are an Indian. Nepotism at large
If you don't plan to become a politician in future, stay away from Cisco.
If you work on something new the pace will be different from that in a group that’s in maintenance mode. Wide variance in experience. Hence ymmv.
If you believe in a leadership
Leadership?

Worried that our top performer is an attrition risk. How do managers handle this?
It’s hilariously bad. So much to share but it would identify me. Watch the movie Brazil and then realize it’s not about cisco because cisco is even worse.
