Why Cisco

#WeAreCisco, where each person is unique, but we bring our talents to work as a team and make a
dif ference 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 Transf ormation” is an empty buzz phrase without a culture that allows f or innovation,
creativity, and yes, even failure (if you learn from it.)

Day to day, we f ocus 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
dif ference 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!
