I am currently working with Walmart and recently got an offer from Cisco L6 (tc is 28% higher) however I recently got a compensation increase (not by a lot about 2%~3%) i know it might be no brainer to take Cisco, but is Cisco a safe company? As in future growth, Walmart will always be here since they are a retailers.
Also does Cisco have better benefits and Wlb than Walmart?

Any input are much appropriated

YOE:2

Current TC:88k

New TC: 150k

    Walmart will always be there - not necessarily even if they aren’t going anywhere today and yes Cisco is safe in that sense. Market has a lot of confidence in Cisco as you can see in recent stock performance. Plan for 2-3 years at a time max and you should be good.

    Btw Cisco is never safe considering yearly/frequent/regular layoffs so you should look at the BU/Prod/Location to make a decision. Those details and TC/YOE/Grade would help people suggest if its safe or not in short term.

    Take Cisco, stay 2-3 years (or 5 years at max) then go to a better place. This was my plan when I joined Cisco last year

    Collaboration BU wlb is awesome. But here in Cisco you won't get other perks like mobile phone, gym reimbursements but still it is ok.
    And WebEx is really awesome in recent years i think eventually old customer like Walmart will move back to WebEx.
    It is worth to consider software company since you are in Walmart (I feel they are just a IT wing to their retail business, i too have friends in Walmart and I am also holding an offer from Walmart. Heard that their process is not good). Cisco is defenitly a company to consider.

    It takes you a while to reach 150k in Walmart for sure with all the team politics and biased management. No harm in exploring Cisco imo
