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
Here's how we do it
We embrace digital, and help our customers implement change in their digital businesses
Some may think we're "old" (30 years strong) and only about hardware, but we're also a software company
And a security company
A blockchain company
An AI/Machine Learning 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, we give our egos a break and we give of ourselves (because giving back is built into our DNA.) We take accountability, we take bold steps, and we take difference to heart
Because without diversity of thought and a commitment 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 *LI-VL1
