Great on Internal Use of Tech. Not good at execution for a while now.

Operations manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Internal use of technology is to die for. 1, 2 or even more work from home days in not an issue. Company stands behind you in case of any kind of personal or family emergency. Some really good talent in engineering and elsewhere. Switching job roles is relatively easy - a good way to get a well rounded experience.

Cons

Poor execution is a norm. Too much money is wasted on consultants as most employees just like to manage at higher level. Mid level management is ineffective and 'siloed'. Big and small layoffs are a norm. I see a lot of seasoned talent leaving.

Pros

cool people, cool technology, cool benefits. Cisco has a lot going for it, including variety of career opportunities, mentors that are helpful and engaged, and programs to network across the company.

Cons

it is a big company with all the pitfalls of a big company. anonymity, inaccessible leadership, procedural impediments, formalities that inhibit growth and leadership that abide by those formalities.
