Cisco Next Generation FirePower Threat Defence (FTD) is the flagship product from Security Business Group (SBG). FTD integrates award-winning ASA Firewall services and world's best & well known IPS engine SNORT into a high-performance appliance. FirePower Management Center (FMC) and Cloud FMC (aka cdFMC : SAAS avatar of FMC) provides the management capability for the FTDs, which makes customers life much easier.

Talking specifically about Cloud FMC: it brings cutting edge security management features to the customers at a fast pace and needs equally fast paced technical innovation and adaptations to the cloud tech, while keeping parity with the on-prem FCM.

Our mission is simple: make it easy, reliable and effective for security management for our Firewall devices.

Our work culture is defined by values of “Being kinder than necessary”, “Learning together”, “Engineering the business” and celebrating diversity of perspectives. A positive and intellectually cultivating environment for employees is the reason Cisco has won the “Best company to work for” three years in a row and earned us the title of “The most loved security company” given by our customers.

For non-sales roles the hiring ranges reflect base salary only; employees are also eligible to receive annual bonuses. Hiring ranges for sales positions include base and incentive compensation target. Individual pay is determined by the candidate's hiring location and additional factors, including but not limited to skillset, experience, and relevant education, certifications, or training. Applicants may not be eligible for the full salary range based on their U.S. or Canada hiring location.

U.S. employees have access to quality medical, dental and vision insurance, a 401(k) plan with a Cisco matching contribution, short and long-term disability coverage, basic life insurance and numerous wellbeing offerings. Employees receive up to twelve paid holidays per calendar year, which includes one floating holiday, plus a day off for their birthday. Employees accrue up to 20 days of Paid Time Off (PTO) each year and have access to paid time away to deal with critical or emergency issues without tapping into their PTO. We offer additional paid time to volunteer and give back to the community. Employees are also able to purchase company stock through our Employee Stock Purchase Program.

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.
