Winning With The Best #WeAreCisco #Maythe4th Post In All The Galaxy
A few months ago, a fellow Cisco employee set the ball rolling on a wild, fun, Star Wars adventure. He asked in an all-company meeting, the Cisco Beat, if we could celebrate Star Wars Day #Maythe4th as a company. I love to bring a bit of goofiness into work, and it’s always exciting when we get to d…
Two Cisco Tips These Employees Learned from Climbing Kilimanjaro
A Cisco account manager and a Cisco engineer walk into a bar… sounds like the start to a good punchline, no? In this case, it was not a joke. It was the beginning of a journey – This adventure started when a pact was made to climb the highest mountain in Africa after some pizza and a beer or t…
Planning My Next Path – US Army Vet’s Road to Cisco
We should all be looking ahead in life, chasing our next goal. Sometimes the path is straight, and sometimes, it throws us a lot of curves. For example, I was born and raised a Kansas boy. If it’s Kansas sports (Jayhawks, Chiefs, Royals) I’m a fan. I made a plan to join the United States Army, and i…

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!…

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! What about Tapixte from Veracruz, which is a dish used for local parties and weekend events on Papaloapan. We also tried Costa Rican tama…
Virtual Coffee through Cisco Tech
I love coffee. I think it not only helps me to open my eyes in the morning, but it also helps connect people in extraordinary ways. Perhaps my love of coffee comes from my roots as I lived near Italy, or maybe it is because my grandmother used to prepare coffee for me since I was little – whatever t…
May the 4th Be With You, Cisco Style
When employees submitted entries into the #WeAreCisco #LoveWhereYouWork contest back in February, one of the themes that came through was that they loved that they felt like they could be themselves. So the #WeAreCisco #LoveWhereYouWork contest is coming back, but this time with a #Maythe4th twist.…
