Cisco Portugal places a strong emphasis on people, well-being, and diversity. Natalia Martsenyuk da Cunha, the HR lead in Portugal, explains that Cisco prioritizes the well-being of its employees. The company’s People & Communities strategy connects human resources with business goals, helping over 900 employees at its rapidly growing Customer Experience Center, which is the third-largest in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
Diversity plays a big role at Cisco Portugal, with 40% of employees coming from other countries.
This helps the company support five languages and brings in a wide range of different ideas and experiences. Cisco has a strong reputation as an employer, consistently ranking as one of the best places to work for 15 years, and it was number one in the category for companies with over 500 employees in 2024.
Well-being is also a key focus, with flexible programs that support employees and their families.
Cisco Portugal also encourages community involvement in Oeiras and Lisbon, showing a commitment to social responsibility. The company offers flexible benefits, development opportunities, and a culture that values inclusion, making it a great place to work that puts people first.
