**Why Cisco**:
WeAreCisco, where each person is unique, and we bring our talents to work as a team to power an inclusive future for all.

We embrace digital transformation, helping our customers implement changes in their digital businesses. Some may think we’re “old” (36 years strong) and only about hardware, but we’re also a software and security company. We even invented an intuitive network that adapts, predicts, learns, and protects. No other company can do what we do.

But “Digital Transformation” is just a buzzword without a culture that fosters innovation, creativity, and yes, even failure (if you learn from it).

Day to 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 built into our DNA). We take accountability, bold steps, and take difference to heart. Because without diversity of thought and a dedication to equality for all, there is no moving forward.
