"My Experience as a Business Analyst Intern
Pros:
- Despite the pandemic causing Summer 2020 internships to be remote, Cisco adapted quickly, and it was clear that the team worked hard to make the onboarding process as smooth and as engaging as possible.
- For the teams I'm working on, I have felt challenged yet supported in my work.
- I have had the opportunity to strengthen my skills and to learn how to use new tools.
- The company culture is like no other; there is a strong sense of community, with an emphasis on giving back.
- A mentor is assigned to each intern, and beyond just this relationship, everyone I've asked has been more than happy to connect me to colleagues currently working in my desired field.
- There is a wide variety of training opportunities to explore one's interests for both career and personal development.
Cons:
- On my projects, I have noticed some frustrating inefficiencies, and the data we're working with is often "good enough"
- Given the remote aspect, I have not had the opportunity to get to know many of the interns in my group, and the leadership in my group has not organized anything despite requests to do so."

"I have worked in several companies within the IT area, but it has been in Cisco where I have felt the respect for my ideas, my work and where they drive to be better without distinction of gender.
We believe that 100% office work and strict schedules is the only thing that exists, but I can assure you that there are companies like Cisco where the work culture is important and flexible."
