I received an offer today, and I’m planning to meet with my manager tomorrow to give notice. I’m wondering whether a full two weeks is necessary. I want to leave professionally and on good terms, but I’m also ready to move on.

Do you think anyone will remember that you gave full two weeks of notice, and keep your 'nice gesture' in mind, in your favor, in case if you are ever thinking of coming back?
No notice required. If very little or none, Cisco may not hire you back. If you don't care then it will only matter if your old coworkers have the chance to hire you again somewhere else. They have long memories.
@OP ZER0!
Yes and they have the legal obligation to give you those policies
@av
Nope, the cisco offer letter we had to sign basically said that cisco policies supersede the employment contract with splunk.
There is wrong advice here in regards to the possible time line
It goes like this:
- earning call
- internal call announcing layoffs if they are big
- effective communication to those impacted
All the above are spaced at around one week from each other
When a company is aquired by another one the later takes over ALL the contractual obligations of the aquired company (that is by law). Whatever contract you had with Spluk that is your contract with Cisco too.
I rather not disclose my role as I rather stay anonymous.
I’m moving over to HPE.
If you get an LR meeting, discuss this offer, and may be they will retract to keep you.
It largely depends on what you feel is right for your position. If you're going to a competitor, you'll be released right away, although I don't think you're required to reveal where you're going. Otherwise, Cisco's employment is "at will" so you can leave tomorrow, give two weeks' notice, or as others suggested, wait until the upcoming LR is announced to see if you're impacted.
Give twice as much as they'd give you.
If you’re going to a direct competitor there’s a good chance they walk you immediately.
And as some else mentioned layoffs are highly possible by Friday so sit tight for a few days
3 months
@OP Also, you should wait till Friday to give notice, there is likely layoffs this week and if you are laid off you can get severance and have a new job lined up.
@a6 to be fair I'm from splunk, also have an offer, and also looked for the same info today. My cisco "offer letter" that I signed when we joined cisco doesn't have any info, the splunk employee handbook is no longer relevant. The business conduct training isn't available because they are revamping it. There is no employee handbook for cisco. There is policy central but it has nothing on giving notice and every policy is in a separate document so it takes forever to look through. Circuit is useless.
I have never worked for a company more disorganized and harder to find info in than Cisco.
So let us guess, you do not have a contract with terms clearly stated there which you can read instead of asking here right?
No wonder we suffer so many LRs if we keep hiring geniuses like this one. The bright side is that others will get him :D. What a steal
Offer where? What's your role
