Do you like working at Cisco?


Why and why not?

Cisco Systems
http://www.cisco.com/

It's the largets networking systems corp.

Hi there,

Well, I worked at Microsoft for many years, and can speak at length about that experience.

I recently went through a few interview loops at Cisco Systems, so I only have limited visibility right now. (I'm expecting an offer...)What I can say is that like every big corporation, work-life & work dynamics vary greatly from team to team. I interviewed last year for a particular position and found the interviewers wishy-washy (an indication that they are working in huge ambiguity with undefined roles).
But this year, I was impressed with my interviewers/ future team.

So the answer is that it totally depends. Where ever you work there are bound to be good dynamics and bad, but in my opinion, the quality of my happiness at my job is directly related to 2 things:
1. Do I like the people I work with?
2. Do I have a positive impact on the biz?

The environment I was privvy to seeing was different then Micrososft. At Micrososft, there are no cubicles for direct employees; every one has an office. I LOVED this.
AT Cisco, it appears that every other floor is an "open envirnment"... meaning there aren't cubicles, or offices. It looks more like a big lunch room. You work where ever you land. I don't like it. I mean, why not just let me work from home if you want me in an "open environment". I prefer a quiet & private atmosphere.

That's all I've got on it.

Good luck!
