Disagree with first statement. Pulling 60 hour work weeks rn.
Avoid Cisco at all cost as someone who is ex-Cisco. Espp is 15% discount but stock never goes up and only drops. It dropped 11% overnight yesterday. I used to work 60 hours+ too, and no value added work.
Hello, welcome to Cisco. - 401k match at Cisco is 4.5% - PTO is okay, and all major holidays off. You do need to use 2-4 days of PTO for holiday break in December. I get birthday and a few floating holidays off per year too. PTO balance rolls over year to year which is cool (floating holidays do not, so use those first) - I had a kid in CA and I was able to take off for ~2 months within the first year. I think that was partly from state of CA though. Side note: max out the ESPP and negotiate good RSUs during promos, they’re both a great perk of Cisco!
Mega backdoor roth is one of the best perks
How and when Do you negotiate RSU?
Kaiser is $20 something bucks a month if you’re in Cali lol
Ask your recruiter
Not interviewing for cisco, we’re being acquired
