#WeAreCisco, where each person is unique, but we bring our talents to work as a team and make a difference.
We embrace digital, and help our customers implement change in their digital businesses. Some may think we’re “old” (35 years strong!) and only about hardware, but we’re also a software company. And a security company. An AI/Machine Learning company. We even invented an intuitive network that adapts, predicts, learns and protects. No other company can do what we do — you can’t put us in a box!
Day to day, we focus on the give and take. We give our best, we give our egos a break and we give of ourselves (because giving back is built into our DNA.) We take accountability, we take bold steps, and we take difference to heart.
At Cisco, Corporate Social Responsibility isn’t just a buzz phrase — it’s who we are. We believe that diversity of thought is how we innovate and equality is the right way to move forward.
Cisco has one of the most diverse executive leadership teams (ELT) and nearly half are women. We were a leader in advancing fair pay for everyone as one of the 28 founding signers of the White House Equal Pay Pledge. We created a framework to evaluate the health of our compensation, and where we found gaps (less than 1% of our employee population) we made changes. We’re also a proud member of the UN’s Global Innovation Coalition for Change, making technology more accessible for young women and encourage them to work in STEM fields. And while we can choose however we’d like to spend our five days’ time off just for giving back, many of our women in tech choose to volunteer in STEM programs.
Women at Cisco support each other through mentorship and networking. We have employee resource organizations (EROs), like Women in Science and Engineering and Connected Women, and we’re proud of our allies in the ERO called Men for Inclusion. Because without diversity of thought and a commitment to equality for all, there is no moving forward.
So, you have colorful hair? Don’t care. Tattoos? Show off your ink. Like polka dots? That’s cool. Pop culture geek? Many of us are. Passion for technology and world changing? Be you, with us.
#WeAreCisco, where each person is unique, but we bring our talents to work as a team and make a difference.
Yes, we are the worldwide leader in IT, and our technology changes the way the world works, lives, plays and learns, but our edge comes from our people.

Gender diversity starts at the top. Currently, Cisco’s Executive Leadership Team is approaching 50% women. They’re not just women, they’re women from all kinds of backgrounds and cultures. Even better, Cisco’s CEO Chuck Robbins chooses his executive leadership from the best – not the best women, just the best talent.
Please review our gender diversity statistics and initiatives in our annual Corporate Social Responsibility report. https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/about/csr/csr-report.html
