Cisco reviews

- very high workload, can get ridiculous when covering for absent colleagues. - no training. - no annual pay rises, irrespective of performance. So each year your efforts are rewarded with an effective pay cut as inflation eats into your competitive starting salary of 5 years before! - limited/no career progression. - Benefits steadily cut - the joke in the offices is that soon we will have to pay for our own toilet paper. - employees now have to pay for own broadband and mobile phones - which the company still expects you to use for cisco business - figure that one out. - expected to be on call virtually 24 hours a day. - A performance review process which is laughable - break your back or sit back - no difference.

This is one arrogant company. The general view is that we should feel very lucky to be here, and that staff are expendable. There is no real opportunity to progress, you can only get on by sucking up to the right people. Praise for doing a good job does not exist. The company is making the job as hard as it can in a tough environment, in the hope that people walk, as they have over recruited already and don't want to make people redundant. UK management team are not industry leaders, just yes men to the US and only understand management metrics for monitoring staff. The people who have been doing a good job successfully for years get over looked and taken for granted, while the self promoting "connected" brown nosers get promoted. Was once good, now like every other big slow arrogant beast.
