    “Flexible work hours and location. This improves my quality of life. It also shows that I am trusted. When my daughter was going through treatments for leukemia, I was able to travel out of state to be with her during all of her hospital stays. I could do my job, working remotely from the hospital. Management made accommodations so that I could continue to do my job in this manner despite spending weeks at a time in the hospital. That year I spent a cumulative total of six months working remotely. I will always be grateful to the Cisco management and culture for allowing me to be with my daughter around the clock,” says one employee. Read the Great Place to Work review here. Cisco also appears at No. 82 on Fortune's list of the 100 Best Companies to Work For.
