On Monday, February 8, 2010, I started my first full time assignment after finishing the Master´s degree. I have chosen this job because it offered me to gain a lot of experience in starting a new worldwide initiative within the large American IT corporation. Actually, I like this company, because it is nearly as old as I am. Cisco was founded in 1984 at the Campus of the Stanford university by two students who invented the first switching system enabling interoperability of multiple operating systems.
Cisco is betting on collaboration and that is definitely something I like about working there because I can make use of their own collaboration tools also internally. The scope of my work is very international which is good, given the fact I studied International trade and International Management :-).My position is called Program Analyst and I am responsible for monitoring a new incentive program for Cisco´s partners in the Emerging markets. So far I have been enjoying revealing complexity of another big corporation. Let´s hope I will keep up doing my job well and in sufficient pace.
