Cisco stock is going up and being raised. Unsure any of this is due to action by Cisco or just pent up COVID demand and boatloads of cash printed by the Feds... I expect back slapping and smile for 12 months.

ALL Pre- Sales Engineers and Architects are going to the pool of Agile TSA. Don’t let leaders like Eric Knipp and everyone associated with him fool you. This is about him saving money on the pre-sales by reducing head count, paying people less... —  read more 

I have put so much effort in cisco and don’t want to leave. My manager keeps telling some story I really want to sue my manager for not giving promotion

Heard from one of the bigshot Not to scare but just Prep well friends Datacenter loosing battle with main competitors like Arista HP and Dell

'Beginning of a mindset shift and practice around how we work as a team moving forward' What's your prediction on what this will be? Given that May 12-13 is US-wide, I'm thinking it's either a big re-org/ internal re-brand or maybe a series... —  read more 

Do all layoffs need a WARN? I've heard now twice that a few people have been laid off in the past three or four weeks with no warning. No WARN, no announcement, no publicity (since it's only two or three people in both cases...) Is that legal? If it... —  read more 

I can't understand how, I can't understand who the people they keep surveying for these lists are since nobody I know would put Cisco anywhere near the top, but it happened again. Cisco is apparently once gain the best company to work for... —  read more 

This list is compromised and manipulated by ELT

Next mandatory woke education is May 25th - remember you must put 5 on the feedback form or someone will call you and ask why it's less.

Even though I am vaccinated... When (IF) I ever return to the office I will refuse any screening attempts and sue the company who tries to screen me. Let thee be warned.

There is a lot of hiring going on and I’m glad everyone has a job opportunity, however, does it seem to you that Cisco is almost no longer selective at all when hiring new people? I had a friend who applied for a job here at the same time as me and... —  read more 

This has become a popular phrase. But think about it, what role does Cisco's social justice messaging have in creating networking equipment and software? How does creating diversity of skin color among employees enhance a company's ability to... —  read more 

I decided to stay a little longer considering the offers I received were not enough to miss the package here. On the other hand, I wouldn’t want to give my well-deserved package to this company. Meanwhile, the motivation is zero. I can barely... —  read more 

I came here without much experience and tried to learn as much as I could, but at one point I got too bored. I don't know if boredom is the right word but after 5 years I've had enough of Cisco and I would like to leave. Is there anyone else who has... —  read more 

I don't see a reason for more cuts when people are walking out in droves. Considering that Cisco is not bothering to hire any replacements, I'm assuming that's their way of reducing costs. This is a definite win for them because not only do they get... —  read more 

The package included: one year of salary two years of health insurance Do they still do this?

Chucky? Isn't that disrespectful?

Some of us were worried that he was going to lay someone off, because he was sometimes Awol in meetings. But a colleague asked him directly if he was going to lay someone off and he actually blurted out in a meeting that he also works for... —  read more 

Just to collect another one year package.

Georgia voting law opens perfect cover for Cisco to close Alpharetta. Will they take this opportunity?

Will it be really damaging to resign with in 30days of accepting a job ? or I will be overreacting, impatient and would reflect badly if I leave.

That is, who is currently actively looking for a new job and at what point did you decide to do so? I’m a little worried about making a mistake, but I definitely decided to go and I already have 2 very solid offers. My reason for leaving is very... —  read more 

Or, is it to get Chuck elected?

From the WSJ: Yet so much of this CEO pos­turing cites no facts—or even fails to men­tion the word “Geor­gia.” Amer­i­can Ex­press stands “against any ef­forts to sup­press vot­ing,” said CEO Steve Squeri. “Black­Rock is con­cerned about ef­forts... —  read more 

Every organization has a strategy to leverage the cloud or PaaS/SaaS, but there was Cisco still forcing $100k pizza boxes down clients throats for Prime Infrastructure like features . Has the Enterprise Networking business unit made a move yet to... —  read more 

Most of you may not agree but Cisco was very good to most of us who worked here for 20+ years - and mind you - I am not talking about Director/VP but just Lv 10 to 12 career. I do not care what others made at higher level and what their... —  read more 

Cisco seems not to have had a growth plan for a long time. Growth is no longer an imperative for this company, as it once was. Once upon a time, this was a company run by visionaries interested in business growth, which could be achieved through... —  read more 

Years ago, Cisco actually had real leaders in the company. They had a strategy aligned to customer needs and an execution plan to drive business growth. They built strong teams and grew their people ensuring there were viable careers here. The... —  read more 

I think when you look at our industry and the numbers of layoffs, Cisco is not that bad. I'm not justifying layoffs - let me make that clear right now - I'm just saying that when it comes to job security, we're still not as bad as so many other... —  read more 

Just sayin.

from reality of what it took Cisco to build a great company. They only care about taking care of their own.

Could be replaced with a $60 Raspberry Pi? Think about it. I bought ten Raspberry Pi's and put Arch, Ubuntu, Raspberrian, Wheezy, XBMC, and tried out several other Distros. (Note I didn't install CentOS because of what's going on now. Maybe... —  read more 

Lately, it occurs to me; what a long strange trip it's been. I actually had to work today for an hour. That makes about three hours honest work this week. Who's running this show nowadays?

Any layoffs happened recently I see lots of people leaving Cisco and 1-2 last day emails every week

Horrible people and horrible behavior. They don’t do extra work and demand for promotions and more salary. Many are waiting for Cisco layoff package. Cisco should get rid these old sh– minded engineers

As a distinguished leader?

Pulling this up from a separate thread on not wanting Identity based Promotions. Thank you for your candor. There are examples in many groups of this insulting promotion behavior that taints everyone. Every director was mandated to sign up for... —  read more
