#LoveWhereYouWork

Have you ever felt a bit like you’re living the same day over and over again? I used to.

“Do you like where you work?” “No, I LOVE where I work!” This is the conversation you might encounter when you ask a Cisco employee about their job. Why do they love it so much?

Perhaps hope comes because I miraculously survived, along with my three younger siblings who were al…

Andrea O’Connell was a Cisco Intern over the Summer of 2016. She shared the post with us prior to returning to school where we wish her lots of luck and success. 😊 Can I be honest? Before I started working at Cisco I wasn’t sure if this company would be the right fit. My past internship ex…

Erica Parker shared her story with us this summer as a Cisco Intern before going back to class this fall. We hope your semester is awesome, Erica! During the summer of 2015, my perfectly healthy father woke up one morning and suffered from a cryptogenic stroke – or a stroke without a cause. It was…
