Now a days, I see that a lot of people are leaving Cisco and very few joining. I think its common with every company but this sounds scary when talking about Cisco. I am curious to know how life is after Cisco as sometimes I feel like I am not doing challenging work but at the same time I am not ready to make a move yet. For those who are at Cisco, Is this not an exciting time for Cisco? For those who left, Could someone share the experience of how life is after leaving? Your response is much appreciated !!
My friend left Cisco this year. He was a contractor and waited multiple years to be converted. Finally left and was pissed to learn his peers were converted shortly after he left. Six months later got converted at his new company and received 20K over the high end of his TC ask. Says he regretted leaving Cisco at first but is now really glad he left. Doesn’t think Cisco would have matched the pay.
What is this exciting time you refer to at Cisco? The stock is down so I presume layoffs must be a quarterly event.
Absolute fucking joke of a company. It’s like the rich grandpa that is wearing cuffed jeans, ultra boosts, and a trendy jacket with AirPods in. Plenty of money and trying to be trendy. This company doesn’t innovate. They lobby, acquire, and call other people’s work “innovation” while they roll other startups revenues into their own. Just an all around awful fucking place to be. I started off my career as a data scientist then went to SWE. Regret the past 2 years here. The funny thing is these boomers think they’re still relevant and know wtf they’re talking about.
Just from the fact that it's a shortened version of San Francisco, but they shortened it by taking the rear end, I do not like it. A tech company should have a respectable origin for their name.
Only to those who can't read. 😄
Well, same to you 😏
Cisco sucks but it really depends what you are looking for. If you want a quiet life, good pay and want to work with average people it kinda works. Its work environment is too political and it gets in the way of progress. Management and leadership are really ....... uninspiring and not that good at what they do. If you are young or just want to work with smart and hard working people to challenge yourself in a good way.... I wouldn't say Cisco is the place to be.
Summoning Cisco 🐨
Indian here (nothing against Indians). But .... Cisco is a hot bed of select indian {%**+ in middle management. To sum up - a large pct of freeloaders and fakers are nesting and brooding at Cisco, sadly many are desis. just a statistical observation
Freaking Jerks! Only Garuz drinking Darus! Personally, Telugus and Tamils are ok.... its the freaking Gujjus who are the gosh dang problemo!! Fuck all the Northeners!!!
