Pros

Cisco is a globally recognized company with solid processes, clear structures. The brand name carries weight, and there are opportunities to work on large-scale, complex systems.

Cons

Despite its reputation, the company often feels more focused onbusiness outcomes than on employee well-being. Decisions are frequently top-down without reasoning, and individual circumstances are not always considered. There is a noticeable gap between stated values about people and how employees actually experience care and support on a day-to-day basis.
