Cisco is committed to powering an inclusive future for all, and we’re proud to be ranked the No.1 Best Workplace in Australia by Great Place to Work, four years running!

Life and Culture

Values

Positive Global Impact

Cisco has reached nearly 90% of the goal we set in 2015 to positively impact 1 billion people by 2025 through social impact grants and signature programs.

We’re committed to powering an inclusive future for all. As one of the leading forces in connecting the world, we understand our unique opportunity to bring communities together and create meaningful change for everyone, everywhere. How? By powering connection, accelerating fairness and inclusion, ensuring a sustainable future, and building partnerships globally that align with our vision.

Conscious Culture

At Cisco, we intentionally create and cultivate an inclusive work environment where employees can thrive and innovate, and Cisco can win. That's why connecting starts within Cisco. Over 30,000 Cisconians participate in our 29 Employee Resource Groups, called Inclusive Communities, where we network, learn to be informed allies, and help make a positive impact. From PRIDE, to Emerging Talent at Cisco, to Women of Cisco, and many more, you will find your community!

One Company, Many Careers

Our People Movement initiative helps employees connect to opportunities that energize them and support their career goals. With access to a wide range of courses, training opportunities, and mentorship programs, our employees can diversify their skills and pursue work that meets their evolving interests and strengths.

Hybrid Work

We are moving to a hybrid world – one that is more flexible, more innovative, and more inclusive. So, we are leaving it up to the teams themselves to determine how they’ll work best in this new hybrid world. That means no set requirement from the top on the number of days in—or out—of the office. Because work is not a place you go to, it’s what you do.

Well-being

Cisco knows that well-being is at the core of a healthy, successful culture. When we are well—physically, mentally, and socially—we can give and be our best, both at home and at work. That’s why we invest in perks and benefits that help employees reach their well-being goals. Learn more below.
