They pay well and have a pretty SF and Paris office. They really try to do good on onboarding.
Overall would probably be 3 stars if it weren’t so unstable and always layoffs. It is an odd culture that teeters on worshipping Chuck. No solid motivation or direction and no innovation. They are so behind the times.

I’ve read a lot about how Cisco sucks and they have a poor reputation for talent. What if you were a really high performer there (projects got attention of CEO & CTO), are in early 20s, and interview really well. Are you going to have a hard time going to a FANG due to past experience at Cisco?
I'm curious! In almost any post I always see someone bashing cisco? I mean it's a large company with good reputation, may not be paying as much as FAANG but I think it's still decent compared to the rest of the market. Also, they are leaders in their Field!! Please someone let me know why so much h...Read more
