How is to work at Cisco

Great beginning opportunity, great culture and was able to learn the basics of saas sales to eventually move up to a different position. Would definitely work there again in the future. Learned everything a beginner needs

Work life balance is so so. That comes with any SDR position though. Would definitely recommend if you have a family or other out of work commitments and want to smash your quote probably not the best fit
