*Why Cisco*

WeAreCisco, where each person is unique, but together we bring our talents to work as a team and make a difference, powering an inclusive future for all.

We accept digital transformation and help our customers implement change in their digital businesses. While some may see us as "old" (36 years strong) and primarily a hardware company, we're also a software company, a security company, and 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 more than just a buzzword to us. It's a culture that fosters innovation, creativity, and yes, even failure (as long as we learn from it).

Every day, we focus on the give and take. We give our best, give our egos a break, and give of ourselves (because giving back is at our core). We take accountability, bold steps, and take diversity to heart. Because without diversity of thought and a commitment to equality for all, there's no moving forward.

So, if you have colorful hair? We 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 ideas? Be you, with us
