We Are 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!
