What does the leadership team need to get better at?
retention and young employee treatment
Review from IT Dept
Treat people like adults. Don’t punish everyone for one persons mistake
Review from IT Dept
Communication about what is going on with the higher ups
Review from IT Dept
not just talking the talk. Hiring is still not diverse enough and promoting young women is still not strongly enough in the culture.
Review from IT Dept
What is the best part about your compensation package?
All of my concerns and questions about coverage have been addressed.
Review from IT Dept
The best part is that i will receive my compensation fairly.

My salary is above the national average for my position.
Review from IT Dept
I have options that I agree with.
Review from IT Dept
Stock awards are good annual
Review from IT Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
recognition from my director and manager instead instead of annoyance. I have been responsible for lots of innovation, but I am treated like a pariah for upsetting the bureaucratic process. My manager competes with me instead of growing me. Long line for promotions/compensation despite performance
Review from IT Dept
No sick days or community work days. Time off completely inadequate if you have young kids
Review from IT Dept
What are some of the best things about your team?
All the members of the team are good.
Review from IT Dept
Most of my team is extremely smart, friendly and now the value of teamwork. However, I am the only woman in an all (mostly white) male group.
Review from IT Dept
We can give our feedback without penalties going against us.
Review from IT Dept
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Inclusion. If you think outside of the box on my team, you're punished instead of rewarded. Large group-think problem in Cisco IT. Even if you're optimizing a process, people get annoyed because of slow/stagnant mentality. They want things to remain as they are and nothing to be disrupted.
Review from IT Dept
work as a team really and not see each other as competitors
Review from IT Dept
Transparency
Review from IT Dept
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

My Manager and my teammates are the best part of my job. The work is extremely interesting and a constant learning environment. There is an strong encouragement of training and certification.
Review from IT Dept
We all work as a team. No one person talks down to another.
Review from IT Dept
We have a variety of culture and I like that.
Review from IT Dept
Flexible work environment, mostly from home. Nice work life balance
Review from IT Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
1. Not being punished for wanting to move to a new role in Cisco. 2. Managers to challenge/grow rather than compete for spotlight with employees. 3. Compensation based on performance rather than based on length of time at company. 4. "Disruption" rewarded rather than punished
Review from IT Dept
What did you like most about the interview process?
Everyone truly wanted me to be apart of the Cisco Family. My interviewers were extremely enthusiastic and inspiring. Thanks!

It is some what easy if we have some basic knowledge.

They ask real job related questions instead of just looking at the resumes and eliminating people.
Review from IT Dept
I was able to bring what I have learned at other companies
Review from IT Dept
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
I have never interviewed with our company, I was part of an acquisition in the days before Cisco had really put a good process in place for acquisitions. We had a lot of problems moving into Cisco's infrastructure the first year.
Review from IT Dept
was okay but could be more geared towards acquiring talent
Review from IT Dept
What makes you most happy at work?
I really enjoy working here

For me, the experience is all about the team I am working with as well as providing our employees with a secure environment. But we still put a high emphasis on user experience.

It is a relaxed environment where I am surrounded by people who all work hard towards getting the job done.

I love what I do. I love providing the best customer service I can.
Review from IT Dept
My coworkers make me happy
Review from IT Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Disruptive mindsets punished - should be rewarded. Young employees not engaged. Trained to be good for other companies, but not offered proper compensation or roles to stay.
Review from IT Dept
What do you like best about your company?
Ability to take trainings and work from home
Review from IT Dept
trust and culture
Review from IT Dept
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
so many things, from recognition and compensation to overall work environment. Definitely my manager. I wish there were less repercussions for internal movement. Everyone "says" it's fine and you can and they'll support you. But it's a lie. I have had two movements sabotaged by management
