Life At Cisco

In the center of one of Europe’s most beautiful cities, with a splendid view of the ancient Prague castle, just steps away from the Vltava River – sits our Cisco Office in Prague. Cisco occupies two floors in the Charles Square Center. There is a supermarket, stationary store, café, bank, flower sho…

Cisco is the best thing that ever happened to me, and I’m sure I’m not the only one who thinks that! Right after graduation, Cisco was my very first company, and while I wouldn’t say every phase has been a bed of roses in my time here – I am still filled with gratitude for a company that has challen…

In the 12 years that I have been with Cisco, I can honestly say it feels like home and during this time I have grown from an energetic girl ready to take on the world into a married woman, and now even a working mother! As I was looking to begin my career and carefully compared other companies based…

It’s an awesome feeling to wake up each day and know that your efforts are making a difference for the greater good.  When I was a soldier in the U.S. Army over 20 years ago I had that feeling every day and now I have it again at my new place of work – Cisco. I began my Cisco career 9 months ago and…
