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 implementchangein their digital businesses. Some may thinkwe’re“old” (40 years strong) and only about hardware, butwe’realso a software company. And a security company. We even invented an intuitive network that adapts, predicts,learnsand protects. No other company can do what we do – youcan’tput 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’tcare. Tattoos? Show off your ink. Like polka dots?That’scool. Pop culture geek? Many of us are. Passion for technology andworldchanging? Be you, with us!
