A once-wonderful company has lost their vision and their employees are now paying for it

Program manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

If you're willing to work around the clock (I have a 1AM-6AM meeting tomorrow, and another on Sunday) you can do very well at Cisco.

Cons

Cisco has gone to a "management by council" mode so nobody seems to have accountability anymore. Chambers and team seem to be floundering, badly, after making some really bad decisions that they now have to rectify. Rumor has it huge layoffs are coming soon, and budgets are being slashed in really scary places.

Good place to work, if you're into more than 50+ hours a week

Business Outlook

Pros

Cisco is great with collaboration, although the right hand never knows what the left hand is doing in terms of BUs.

Cons

Work hours are long and working multiple timezones is mostly a must. Management changes frequently and direction can change multiple times.
