Amazing company without a job security

Amazing people, amazing culture, amazing benefits. But all these things are not matched with job security. Every August they fire bunch of people in the name of limited restructuring and it is not based on performance , it is random. Lot of reorganization happening every 4-5 months so growth is very slow, yearly increment is 4-5% only.

Pros

Work culture, work life balance

Cons

Job security

Great work life balance

It all depends for which team or manager you are working for. Some teams will be micro managed while others won't be. Overall it provided a good work life balance.

A good and secure place to be at

Its a great place to start your career, on onboarding process was very accommodating, peers are always ready to help. Sometimes things do get out of hand and PRDs are changed on the fly but that's a rarity. Products are good and leaders are open to suggestions.

Pros

Good tech stack and projects

Cons

Sometimes work can be unorganised and disruptive

Productive and Flexible work environment

Cisco Systems offers a very flexible, productive & comfortable work environment. The leadership team at Cisco is quite supportive & understanding and encourages their employees to maintain a healthy work-life balance.Cisco offers sufficient paid leaves in a year (AL + Emergency Leave + Sick Leave) & encourages its employees to take leaves periodically so as to switch off from work & spend some quality time with family & friends.

Pros

Flexible work environment, good compensation, supportive & understanding management, 8 hours per day

Cons

Job security
