Cisco is a tech powerhouse specializing in networking hardware, cybersecurity solutions, and software that keeps businesses connected, from routers powering the internet backbone to video tools like Webex for virtual meetings. Founded by a duo of computer scientists who turned a simple idea into a global empire, it started with innovative routers and expanded into cloud services and AI-driven security, becoming a staple for enterprises everywhere.
Cisco cranks the woke knob with DEI programs fostering diverse teams through employee groups and hiring pushes, donations to BLM anti-racism orgs that could fund a small network, Pride initiatives rainbow-boosting LGBTQ inclusion, and ESG policies on sustainability and ethics, because apparently, routing data isn't enough; they've got to route social justice too.
