    ... Wonderful work-life balance and compensation. Would love getting a permanent role in Cisco. Still, not yet time to comment about Appraisal as i joined recently, but for me as a senior, it doesn't make much difference as the perspectives change after a certain years of experience :)

    Working for a for a truly Global Company and exposure that you can only get in handful of companies around the world. Great compensation, benefits etc. Great office space and vibrant campus at Bengaluru. Unfortunately, most of my tenure was during COVID 19 and couldn't enjoy the benefits. Extremely employee friendly policies especially for the tech guys, not so much for the support functions like Finance which I was a part of.

    Dislikes

    American company can fire you anytime, downsize anytime and you wouldn't get another job with similar benefits easily. The place sort of puts you in a comfort zone which is difficult to get out from. I was employed during a period where huge downsizing was going on and hence the team culture was hampered and had a tough time tiding through. In support functions, everything depends on Budgets. Culture is extremely bureaucratic and yes you need to be a manager's favorite to grow and say goodbye to your self-respect unless your specific manager is true professional.

    Great work life balance and team culture with lots of benefits. Good exposure to lot of different technologies.

    Dislikes

    Hikes are very minimal and non existent sometimes. Average salary is below the industry standard in product based companies. Lot of higher level management politics and frequent reorgs with directional changes. Not a company for people expecting high quality work and competitive pay.
