#LoveWhereYouWork

When looking for roles after university, I didn’t give much importance to working culture.

Cisco employees share many similar qualities, but one that we all have is a road that led us to working for this wonderful company.

One of the most valuable elements of our Cisco culture is that we’re encouraged to grow and to continue learning, and because of that nudge from my manager I was able to teach m…
