Why Cisco

WeAreCisco, where each person is unique, but we bring our talents to work as

a team and make a difference powering an inclusive future for all.
We embrace digital, and help our customers implement change in their digital
businesses. Some may think we're "old" (‎36 years strong) and only about
hardware, but we're also a software company. And a security company. We even
invented an intuitive network that adapts, predicts, learns and protects. No
other company can do what we do - you can't put us in a box!
But "Digital Transformation" is an empty buzz phrase without a culture that
allows for innovation, creativity, and yes, even failure (if you learn from
it.)
Day to day, we focus on the give and take. We give our best, give our egos a
break, and give of ourselves (because giving back is built into our DNA.) We
take accountability, bold steps, and take difference to heart. Because without
diversity of thought and a dedication to equality for all, there is no moving
forward.
So, you have colorful hair? Don't care. Tattoos? Show off your ink. Like polka
dots? That's cool. Pop culture geek? Many of us are. Passion for technology
and world changing? Be you, with us!

base salary only; employees are also eligible to receive annual bonuses.
Hiring ranges for sales positions include base and incentive compensation
target. Individual pay is determined by the candidate's hiring location and
additional factors, including but not limited to skillset, experience, and
relevant education, certifications, or training. Applicants may not be
eligible for the full salary range based on their U.S. hiring location. The

based incentive pay, Cisco pays at the standard rate of ‎1% of incentive target
for each ‎1% revenue attainment against the quota up to ‎100%. Once performance
exceeds ‎100% quota attainment, incentive rates may increase up to five times
the standard rate with no cap on incentive compensation. For non-quota-based
sales performance elements such as strategic sales objectives, Cisco may pay
up to ‎125% of target. Cisco sales plans do not have a minimum threshold of
performance for sales incentive compensation to be paid.
