Cisco

"They foster not only a positive environment to work with each other, but also help rebuild your trust in managers after bad managers at previous places. Being open and honest about my apprehensions both of my managers (yes this is my second contract with them) have fostered not only a positive expectation of communications with them, but also support me and are concerned that I feel like I am sufficiently taken care despite my disabilities. "

"Women in engineering tend to get sidelined. Please try to find a mentor that can guide you at every step. "

"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."

"The company overall is a great company, just be careful about the people you choose to work for."

"Cisco is an amazing place to work. Check out the "C-Level" - half are women! Women and men are treated equally in all manners. Great place to grow your career."
