Looks like CIsco will take anybody these days. I'm starting to wonder if even knowing to read or write has become an optional.
Okay, I exaggerate, but not by much.
I have to spend half of my working hours showing new people how to do their jobs! And I'm taking basic stuff they really, really should already know. And then I don't have time to finish my own work.
Is this how low we've fallen? That we have to take anybody who applies, experience and knowledge be damned?
Blue eyed boys want to keep things within themselves and not pull up the overall team.
One man in this mould has destroyed my ex team by stifling everyone. He is surely on DE track as lazy managers want the easy way out and lets him run wild

I’m a new mid-career employee with extensive experience, and I would say I’m overly reliant on the folks who have been at Cisco longer, for a few reasons. Cisco has no discernible processes or procedures, but “leadership” insists that everything be done the way they’ve always done it. I can accomplish most projects or tasks I’m given in any of several (often more efficient and more effective) ways, but only the Cisco way is deemed acceptable. And without documented policies, processes, management systems, or training programs, there’s no quick way for new hires to build the institutional knowledge needed to be effective. These challenges are then compounded by the attitudes of the Cisco lifers who would rather rant about the incompetent external hires than help us adapt and come up to speed. Cisco’s culture, organizational structures and business practices are unique — and not in a good way. Anyone with years of experience at larger and more progressive tech companies will need help assimilating. So Cisco will need to learn to provide better support for external hires, or continue the incestuous internal hiring that got it to the current state of dysfunction.

Junk gets in, does Junk to promotion and retention.. Junk everywhere.
If you’re the only experienced person with lots of new inexperienced people guess what. You are about to be laid off after your done training
More important is what is between your legs.

HR note: Not a team player
Cisco is not a performance based company.
whatever happened to "It's on the web!" ?
Don’t say unknowledgeable. Please use the correct HR term “early in career”.
It's called training. Seniors have always showed apprentices the ropes. Get off your high horse.
