"It (Cisco) grew up as an engineering community, almost a cult. They have always been very aggressive about their technology, and the lack of technology at their competitors. I've heard from lots of headhunters that it's nearly impossible to lever anybody out of Cisco."1 - Melinda Le Baron, Research Director, Gartner Group.2 "Cisco has been described as a fast-paced, challenging, fun-loving, exciting, dynamic, diverse, intense, happy, engaging, friendly, team-oriented, lively, flexible, interesting, open, and energetic place to work."3 - Mangesh Kirtane, Director and Country Head – HR, Cisco Systems (India) Private Limited. "Cisco culture is driven by high standards of corporate integrity and by giving back using our resources for a positive global impact. Through corporate philanthropy and public/private cooperation we are building strong and productive global communities in which every individual has the means to live, the opportunity to learn, and the chance to give back."4 - John T. Chambers, President and CEO, Cisco Systems Inc. Introduction"If somebody would've told me then that we'd go from 70% growth to minus 30% growth in 45 days, I'd have said it was mathematically impossible," said John T. Chambers (Chambers), President and CEO, Cisco Systems Inc.5
This culture ensured that Cisco was on the list of the Fortune magazine's '100 best places to work' for eight consecutive years, starting 1998.
