      Positive Outlook
      Approves of CEO

      I have been working at Cisco Systems full-time for more than a year

      Pros

      Great recognition (pay rise, bonuses, verbal recognition), supportive learning culture, flexible working, progressive work culture

      Cons

      Lots of organisational restructures which can make employees feel unsettled, which can make it hard to find the right person when support is needed
