Do other companies look at Cisco on your Resume as a negative?

My time here on blind has really opened my eyes to how Cisco has no respect on its name whatsoever. If you were hiring, and you saw Cisco on the resume as the only company that candidate has worked for, would you throw that candidate's resume in the trash? #faang #resume

    Nope. The Beauty of tech industry is as long as you have the revenant skills - FAANG or other upcoming companies like robinhood, coinbase, Uber, snowflake and others are willing to give you a chance.

    I’m from intel which comes in the same tier as Cisco or maybe a little lower than Cisco but I got calls from all companies I applied to.

    Generally no but wouldn’t be impressed either. So there will be a lot of proving to do.

  • I joined Cisco Canada and worked there for a couple years in the Data and Analytics team and I feel like it really helped my job prospects. During my recent job hunt, I got interviews with Reddit, Twitter, PayPal, Spotify, Coursera, etc. I never would have got those calls before joining Cisco.

    I joined Cisco recently and was surprised that many of the “long term residents” are actually quite smart. There is some interesting tech being built and employees are trained all the time. So the skills will be there and everyone needs them.

    If someone thinks you’re a moron because of the association with the brand then it tells about them quite something. You would not want to join a bunch of elitists anyway.
