Thread regarding Cisco Systems Inc. layoffs

America's best employers...really?!?!

How in the world did we rank among top 100 employers for 2018 on Forbes' list? Seriously, how are we, out of tens of thousand companies in the country, among top 100 as best employer? I guess PR is earning their pay after all...

After having been laid off in 2014 and back 3 times as a contractor, but also working for other companies in the meantime, Cisco is a great place to work. They offer flexibility and work/life balance. I have supportive team members and miss Cisco every time I have to leave. Would love to get back her permanently.

good salary, huge flexibility, and great colleagues = "no show job" due to connections

Not sure what your problem is. I have a good salary, huge flexibility and great colleagues. I have the best work life balance I've ever had. It's certainly the best place I've worked. If you are naive enough to believe a job is for life then you probably wouldn't want to work at Cisco.

Someone must have been using their "sleeping around" power marketing/PR.

Employers pay an “application” fee to be considered for these lists. They aren’t as unbiased as they seem.

There are entire organizations with absolutely zero work. Protected due to relationships with Senior Leadership, and rewarded with stock/promotions based solely on friendships. Cisco makes the government look efficient.

You don't know how chilled out people are in certain BUs. Getting paid while I chill out, I would give 10/10
