Use the Force to Apply, You May (the 4th)

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.

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! I love working for Cisco, and in particular, I love that we embrace technology, which often removes the…
