#LoveWhereYouWork
A Day in the Life of a Cisco Pup
What happens when writer’s block hits and you struggle for days on finding the perfect words to tell Toby’s story? Well, eventually, you just hand over the computer to your 3 year old Boston Terrier…and let him tell the story himself. 😉 So, everyone, heeeere’s Toby! Hi, fellow Cisconians!…
Use the Force to Apply, You May (the 4th)
Disclaimer: This is not a real job at Cisco, but you can use the link below to send in a resume. As much as we think we often use the Force in our daily jobs, and would really, really like some light sabers for real.

Vivere una Vita Bella – How I bring my family to work every day
Translated from Italian, vivere una vita bella means “Live a beautiful life” and I do, both at home and here at Cisco. Raised in a tight knit Italian family, the majority of my life has been spent in the kitchen or around a table. My grandmother, Nonna, immigrated to the U.S. from Italy 55 years ago…
A Taste of the World at Cisco Mexico City
Imagine a room full of food from all around the world, maybe some of your favorite dishes are present – perhaps there are foods you’ve never even heard of before!

Arriving at Ireland’s Greatest Place to Work
When I was offered an internship at Cisco Ireland as part of my university degree, I wasn’t sure what to expect – would I be bored, would I be stressed, or would I be welcomed and thrive in my new environment? I had to wait four months between when I accepted my offer to my first day. So, that was f…
The Power of a Team – Through Good Times and Bad
We all have those times in our lives when we feel like standing still for a moment to think about the meaning of it all. Why are we here? What have we achieved so far? Are we happy? How many things have we checked off our bucket list, and why does time seem to go faster as we grow older? I will be t…
Cisco Embraces My Family
The world travels more now than it ever has, with Americans alone logging more than 405 million long-distance business trips every year. Maybe you regularly contribute to that number? I know I do!
