12 Interns Share Why They #LoveWhereYouWork (Cisco!)

1700 Interns. 30+ countries. 85+ offices. Interns are a big part of what makes Cisco tick!

I am a Program Manager for The Global Intern Program. We organize events, learning opportunities and more to enhance the intern experience at Cisco.

Cisco is currently asking employees to tell us why they #LoveWhereYouWork. But I wanted to make sure that interns around the world made their voice heard, too!

Here are 12 reasons that our interns #LoveWhereYouWork.

“The amazing work we´re doing together as a highly diverse team (openBerlin team: you rock!!), the absolute support in career and in personal life as well as the huge opportunities to develop my skills and building up my knowledge.”

“There are many things I enjoyed as an intern but it’s the learning environment I appreciate the most. I learned so much from my mentor and other engineers in the team. I owe them for all the knowledge I gained during the internship.”

“The support and training you are provided, along with being able to experiment and test on the newest technologies available in the market. This internship gives us responsibility and a purpose, giving us an insight into corporate life, and the skills to communicate and collaborate with different types of people from all around the world!”
