      Cisco - A Tech Company Stuck in the Past

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good compensation and benefits as well as company perks.

      Cons

      Bad executive management. Cisco represents a company stuck in the past. The leadership team clings to old strategies and is mired in politics and committee meetings. When the stock falls, the real workers in the company are the first to be laid off.

      Great company, until it wasn't

      Pros

      Opportunity to grow and work on new technologies. Results-based bonus compensation.

      Cons

      Travel was insane - expected to hop on a flight at a moment's notice even to international destinations. This was very disruptive to the family. Also, when it came time to layoff 7,000+ employees, Cisco cancelled unvested stock, which was a significant amount of equity unfairly taken back. Stock bonuses were awarded based on past performance and vested as an incentive to keep the employee at Cisco. When Cisco changed course under new management, they should have let us keep our stock that we earned. Canceling our equity awards was an unethical move in my opinion. The company changed for the worse after John Chambers retired.
