How incredibly amazing are the Cisco #LoveWhereYouWork pictures on social? I have learned so much about our fellow Cisconians globally by the stream of pictures that came in last month – it was hard not to get hooked!

Our Engineering/Engineering HR team took the Life At Cisco #LoveWhereyouWork Challenge to heart and strove to knock this picture out of the park while illustrating our playful side. Our team is diverse and filled with some extraordinary women (and man) but I think what might set us apart from the rest is the unconditional support that we lend each other. Most of all, we ALL truly Love Where We Work!

When our uber creative team began brainstorming ideas on how to tackle the #LoveWhereYouWork challenge, we toyed with the idea of doing something around teamwork perhaps around the SuperBowl. But then ‘The Dreamer’ on our team (read more on this below) came up with the brilliant idea to spoof the Vanity Fair Hollywood 2016 Cover. With Women’s History Month and Diversity being such a hot topic we knew that our #LoveWhereYouWork picture would have be amusing and entertaining.

Take a look, did we hit the mark? Personally, I think we slayed!

All great teams consist of people whose strengths define who they are and it’s how they bring those strengths to collaborate on a team is what makes all the difference! This is especially true for us, so without any further ado I would love to introduce our fabulous Engineering/Engineering HR team. Check out why they #LoveWhereYouWork!

I love being part of an awesome team who keep the Chief Development Office for Engineering running successfully.  There are lots of things, which get done behind the scenes, and this is the team responsible.  We are rarely in the limelight, so this is a special opportunity for us.
