SD-WAN is growing and is doing well in the SP segment. I know I work in that area and I have seen our numbers. Our numbers were raised dramatically and we are k–ling it. No not drinking the Koolaid just putting to rest the above comment... — read more

We get 25% and Dell gets 126% ? Time to spruce the resume

Comments??? So many unknowns…

The layoffs are ONLY about hitting a number and nothing more - not this realignment of resources BS. I was hit in late 2014 as part of an 8% company wide LR, I was a top ranked Sr Manager. Prior to that I laid off staff every year to hit the number... — read more 

I'm worried about my dad...

Several have posted about the current severance package, thank you. Am looking for some additional details from anyone who has been–very sadly!!-impacted thus far: 30 days to look for new position within Cisco? What is the payout length? Is it take... — read more 

What is the best and worst organization in Cisco?

December’s ESPP looks very expensive now. Even the CFO sold a lot of stock last week. What’s your view? What happens if 10% of the company’s payroll stops buying stock?

started here a few months ago and managment seems pretty clueless. worth it to switch to another org or just leave all together?

If layoffs mean that much to employees at Cisco why don't ya'll ask your leadership team during the beat wtf they do them?

As the layoff wave hit multiple teams this quarter and a confirmed round next quarter (correct, now we have transparency over this subject, we will fire your a— in 2-3 months) have a moment and think about how sh–ty the situation is… Our... — read more 

Here we go. Cisco dropping the ball once again. If the Conora virus is an actual problem, which is dubious, Cisco would be touting remote collaboration solutions. Which something they actually do well due to webex.

Who wants to risk being laid off? Who wants to live with constant uncertainty and the stress that comes with that? Those with top skills are going to go elsewhere. Expect key people to leave in the following months. Why wait until the hammer falls... — read more 

which indicates Cisco is failing in strategic industry transformation. The hits in enterprise were yet again deep and shocking for those of us who remain. Key people left. As mentioned elsewhere, SD-WAN is not living up. But what's far worse... — read more 

How Cisco culture is changing... One of the GM had her all-hands meeting yesterday and no mention of layoff that took place previous day. God save Cisco from these fake leaders!

I was interviewing for a position in the reporting team there. Heard there were some cuts. Is AppD a good place to work and are there frequent LRs there?

Cisco does not measure performance. The myth of the "bottom 10%" is cover for age discrimination. 75% of those laid off are over 40, male, white and are making senior level salary. Age and possible race discrimination. Plain and simple. — read more 

Is Cisco selling ACI left & right ? Why there is need for LR ? What am I missing here besides a brain ?

I never liked the concept of cutting the bottom 10%, or whatever percentage you want. It's like grading on a curve. Some teams have all exceptional people, and good people get cut. Other teams are full of worthless do-nothings and the majority of... — read more 

At least one BU is aggressively hiring PM’s and TME’s in India, when their business is basically flat or slightly negative. It’s very clear what is going to happen to the non-India based PM’s and TME’s.

Cisco Canada once again misses its Q2 numbers. It’s country manager misses the product number for the 6th consecutive quarter, and this time with a gap of 75M$ US. What a stellar performance under the current leadership. As a result, Cisco Canada... — read more

Cisco will layoff 10k ppl.

Or is that a big no?

There will be a 2nd round of LayOffs between June and August. So get ready

How come that we had so many people aware that the cuts will be happening today (2/26)... Look at two threads below, 9 days ago and 4 days ago. Both were on target. I've been on this site since 2015, we were never this precise... Who's... — read more 

Friend that works for Cisco through Broadsoft acquisition was let go this morning along with a ton of others.

Give it a try, what's your estimate?

The Security Business Group (SBG) was impacted today... I see over 1100 listed on the paperwork that I received.
