General information

Cisco Systems makes network routers, switches, firewalls, and security software. It also makes Webex, a video meeting tool, and UCS servers for cloud computing. Cisco is based in San Jose, California.

Cisco was founded in 1984 in San Francisco by Leonard Bosack and Sandy Lerner, two Stanford computer scientists. It is a public company traded on Nasdaq under the ticker CSCO. In 2025, Cisco had about 86,200 employees and made $56.65 billion in revenue. In 2024, Cisco bought Splunk for $28 billion, its largest deal ever, moving further into cybersecurity and data. That matters: the Splunk deal shows Cisco betting its future on security and data, not just network hardware.

Currently, there's a total of 1,237 job openings at Cisco Systems. Over the last 30 days, 947 jobs were added and 1,806 were removed (job postings usually stay up ~15 days before being removed). Historically, the median salary is ~$315,050. Cisco Systems is a top-tier H-1B sponsor.1
