Thread regarding Cisco Systems Inc. layoffs

People deal in CX

Cisco CX is the worst place to be in terms of comp. Within Cisco and within networking support industry.

CX pays cr@p. 75 percentile my b@lls, CX is not even 25 percentile in industry. If you have spent more than 1 year in CX and are loving the 500 peanuts you make selling your weekends do yourself a favour and move laterally into any other Cisco org outside CX. You are guaranteed to get a 10-20% bump in base with a lateral move, which is a proportional bump in your bonus depending on your grade. Also, your chances of getting RSUs increase from a negative to a positive integer. Best of all, you will realise what it feels like to be treated like an engineer instead of a call center agent selling insurance.

CX has most incompetent senior management. Esp in Americas. Their sole strategy is to cut costs. They say they care about customer experience but they do not. They live, dream and have orgasm thinking about bleeding US sites to death and hire more in mexico. There is at least 10-20 points better NPS and almost all of innovation coming out of US based sites but that doesn't matter because CX management is greedy.

You get what you pay for. Hit like if you agree.

Face it, you are a commodity. It serves the company for them to make you think otherwise. Pay attention to what they do, not what they say. You are a commodity!

I can agree with the generalities but not the specifics.

CX is a toxic environment with, mostly, good staff let down by poor leadership with limited vision and strategy. I can’t say that any of the recently incoming leadership is particularly impressive.

But moving out of CX alone will not give you a salary bump or RSUs. (I actually got both whilst in CX). It depends on your grade and job family. You might also have to make some compromise in fixed/variable pay ratios.

Loser! I don’t know you are a loser from Cisco or Huawei but you’re a loser.


I don't like the way you are talking. You don't know what he experiences and he may have more contribution to Cisco than you did, who knows. If you always jump on a conclusion like that so arbitrarily, then you may become a loser instead of him.
