      Going Woke losing good people

      Sr. account manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work from home, competitive pay, market leader in everything

      Cons

      Too many all hands calls to bash white people and scream racism. In your face die hard liberal leadership. Gave $1M to BLM. CEO recently said we don't want your thoughts and prayers they don't work anymore. We need to take action. This in regards to recent violence in the US. Desperately anti gun. Blindly follows anything Liberal politicians tell them to with no regard to other views. Publicly bashed white people, Republicans, pro 2nd amendment employees, and likened them all to terrorists and racists!

      Cisco (like many other companies today) conforms to the zeitgeist

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      * Competitive compensation * Great benefits * Diverse work-force throughout company * Flexible work hours (on many teams)

      Cons

      * Inconsistencies with rewards and changes to compensation * Company diversity may not be as evident on smaller (scale) teams * HR exists more for the company PR and less so for the individual (unless you can create a social-media frenzy) * Company spends a LOT of time on feel-good sensitivity initiatives for employees. So much so that it does not seem genuine but rather was developed to muster good PR and conform with the zeitgeist - make delicate flowers more comfortable.

      Old company that is stuck in the past

      Services sales executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Good pay - Good benefits - Very socially conscious and progressive on important issues - People are very friendly

      Cons

      - Leadership is a mess and has no idea what is happening in the field and what reality is - We build products that we think the market needs vs what they are actually asking for. So many old egos that will not let bad products fade away - Just working through all the internal challenges within Cisco to sell is harder than even selling to the customer - We pay executives tons of money, but cut all the quality out of TAC so it is not good anymore - We over promise and under deliver all the time. Ask customers to spend like they are buying a Lexus, but they are buying junker - Way too many people who want their voices and opinions heard and so good ideas turn into terrible execution - We hire the same people over and over again that are in the same industry or have friends here, instead of finding great talent that can be taught the technology
