Why Cisco?
We are all unique, but collectively we bring our talents to work as ateam, to develop innovative technology and power a more inclusive, digital future foreveryone. How do we do it? Well, for starters – with people like you!
Nearly every internet connection around the world touches Cisco. We’re the Internet’soptimists. Our technology makes sure the data traveling at light speed acrossconnections does so securely, yet it’s not what we make but what we make happenwhich marks us out. We’re helping those who work in the health service to connectwith patients and each other; schools, colleges, and universities to teach in even themost challenging of times. We’re helping businesses of all shapes and sizes toconnect with their employees and customers in new ways, providing people withaccess to the digital skills they need and connecting the most remote parts of theworld – whether through 5G, or otherwise.
We tackle whatever challenges come our way. We have each other’s backs, werecognize our accomplishments, and we grow together. We celebrate and support oneanother – from big and small things in life to big career moments. And giving back is inour DNA (we get 10 days off each year to do just that).
We know that powering an inclusive future starts with us. Because without diversityand a dedication to equality, there is no moving forward. Our 30 InclusiveCommunities, that bring people together around commonalities or passions, areleading the way. Together we’re committed to learning, listening, caring for ourcommunities, whilst supporting the most vulnerable with a collective effort to make thisworld a better place either with technology, or through our actions.
