"Cisco has an amazing network of Employee Resource Organizations (EROs) for each minority group. As a woman in Engineering, I have found encouragement, mentors, community, and a sense of belonging through these groups.
Other pros include flexibility to work from home when needed, vacation days (20/year), Employee Stock Program (15% discount, 2 year lookback), shuttle services, bonus, and a strengths based approach to career building."

"I LOVE Cisco but I currently have a tricky situation with my manager. Some teams at Cisco have been around for over 20 years and have not adopted the new culture, meaning there is a sense of seniority and entitlement in some teams. You may find bias and challenge in getting promoted - this will rely heavily on your manager when you are early in career."

"I love working at Cisco and truly feeling like an equal. I can't speak to other functions but at least in my own we actively fight against bias every day and our biggest asset is our culture and work life balance. I could see myself working here for a long time because of the flexibility and understanding they value so highly. "

"I absolutely love working for Cisco. There is an abundant amount of resources for women and Cisco is incredibly conscious of diversity and inclusion in the work place. They are very flexible when it comes to MAT leave, child care, and all benefits that go along with family and planning. Cisco also has many employee resources groups, including Women of Cisco and Women in Tech which offers a wonderful community of driven and successful women. "
