Why Cisco?
#WeAreCisco. We are all unique, but collectively we bring our
talents to work as a team, to develop innovative technology and
power a more inclusive, digital future for everyone. 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's optimists. Our technology makes sure the data traveling
at light speed across connections does so securely, yet it's not
what we make but what we make happen which marks us out. We're
helping those who work in the health service to connect with
patients and each other; schools, colleges, and universities to
teach in even the most challenging of times. We're helping
businesses of all shapes and sizes to connect with their employees
and customers in new ways, providing people with access to the
digital skills they need and connecting the most remote parts of
the world - whether through 5G, or otherwise. We tackle whatever
challenges come our way. We have each other's backs, we recognize
our accomplishments, and we grow together. We celebrate and support
one another - from big and small things in life to big career
moments. And giving back is in our DNA (we get 10 days off each
year to do just that). We know that powering an inclusive future
starts with us. Because without diversity and a dedication to
equality, there is no moving forward. Our 30 Inclusive Communities,
that bring people together around commonalities or passions, are
leading the way. Together we're committed to learning, listening,
caring for our communities, whilst supporting the most vulnerable
with a collective effort to make this world a better place either
with technology, or through our actions. So, you have colorful
hair? 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? Be you, with us! #WeAreCisco

Employees on sales plans earn performance-based incentive pay on
top of their base salary, which is split between quota and
non-quota components. For quota-based incentive pay, Cisco
typically pays as follows:
.75% of incentive target for each 1% of revenue attainment up to
50% of quota;
1.5% of incentive target for each 1% of attainment between 50% and
75%;
1% of incentive target for each 1% of attainment between 75% and
100%; and once performance exceeds 100% attainment, incentive rates
are at or above 1% for each 1% of attainment with no cap on
incentive compensation.
For non-quota-based sales performance elements such as strategic
sales objectives, Cisco may pay up to 125% of target. Cisco sales
plans do not have a minimum threshold of performance for sales
incentive compensation to be paid.
