Performance Bonus

Very politically assigned by managers. iF NOT IN GOOD GRACES OF YOUR MANAGER, YOU WILL SEE A DIFFERENCE. Unfortunately, only higher job grades get sizable bonuses. Lower than grade 12 don't feel a huge difference unless an super-exceeding performance. This needs to be leveled across grades to help real performers.

Performance based bonus is limited by grade and at discretion of management

Overall the performance process was long and cumbersome and you usually got a bonus unless you had a really bad review.

it all depends on your grade level

Bonuses from sales were were more impactful than from good performance

Pretty great, scales well as you move up.

Usually fairly distributed with chance for accelerators based on company performance.

They have CAP award

Bonus has been paid out even in years that Cisco didn't do well. Top performers often get 150% to 200% of their bonus.
