Why Cisco？
1 … MONEY
Compensation @ Cisco consists of：
I） Stock
II）Bonus Plans
III） Salary
IV） Relocation
I） Stock
New hire stock： CONSIDER YOURSELF A STOCK WINNER！！ NOT ONLY IS EVERY NEW HIRE GRANTED STOCK； BUT YOU ARE ALSO GIVEN THE OPTION TO PURCHASE STOCK。 HERE'S HOW IT WORKS。。。
In order to provide a competitive compensation package to new hire employees； the Compensation Department recommends to the Board of Directors that employees be granted stock options according to their salary grades。
The program grants each employee the right to purchase a specified number of shares of the company's common stock at a specified price for a period of time。 In accordance with the plan； 25％ of the shares offered vest at the completion of 12 full months of employment； and the balance vests at the rate of 1/48th per month over the next 36 months。 There are other vesting schedules and this schedule may not apply to all new hire stock grants for employees who are part of an acquisition。
The price of the stock is the fair market value on the date that the Board of Directors approves the number of offered shares。 This is normally done at the first board meeting following an employee's date of hire。
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
After 30 days as an active employee； you are eligible to participate in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan。 Participants may enroll and elect to have up to 10％ of their total compensation withheld for the purchase of shares at a discounted price。
Purchase periods begin at the start of each calendar quarter。
Ongoing Stock Options
Cisco's ongoing stock option program offers stock options to eligible employees on an annual basis。
Option amounts are determined based on several criteria including relative worth of the employee's position； value of existing options； past performance； and salary grade。 Funding for the program is determined annually at the discretion of the Board of Directors。
The timing of the Ongoing Program is set by the Board of Directors and typically occurs around the months of July/August。

II） Bonuses
Company Performance Award Plan
The purpose of the Company Performance Awards （Quarterly Bonuses） is to acknowledge employees for their contributions to Cisco's success。 Awards are presented quarterly。 Employees are eligible for Company Performance Awards based on the following criteria：
Typically employees in grades 51…60 and 1…7

Not on a sales commission or incentive plan
Not on a written warning or Performance Improvement Plan at quarter…end
Performance rating not equal to 〃N〃
Awards are granted as a percentage of an individual's base salary。 The percentage is determined quarterly per the Plan based on corporate profit and revenue achievement。 In fiscal year 1996 the average pay out was 11。5％ of base salary。
…Cisco Achievement Program
The Cisco Achievement Program （CAP） awards are used to encourage and reward exceptional contribution to the achievement of business unit and company goals and objectives。 The intent of the program is to maximize positive reinforcement through immediate recognition and promote employee and group effort by including individual and team awards。
Areas of exceptional contribution can include one or more of the following performance categories： customer service； innovation； quality and process improvement； cost reduction； and superior performance typically above and beyond the scope of the job。
Employees and teams can receive cash and non…cash awards valued from 50＋； awards beyond 2；000 require executive staff approval。 Non…cash awards include gift certificates for Time…Out and the Cisco store； and getaways on Cisco。 The award amount should be commensurate with the level of contribution。
Each business unit or sector is given funding equal to 2％ of participant payroll at the beginning of each quarter。
Taxes and Deductions：
Cash awards are 〃grossed up〃 for taxes so that employees receive the total value of the award。 Taxes relating to the award are calculated by the Payroll Department and paid on the behalf of the employee by Cisco。 Employee 401（k） and ESPP deductions （if applicable） are withheld from any check awards issued in the amount of 200 or more； and are not included in the 〃grossed up〃 amount。 If award is distributed by cash or certificate； 401（k） and ESPP deductions will no be withheld from award。

Academy overview
In 1993； Cisco embarked on an initiative to design practical； cost…effective networks for schools。 It quickly became apparent that designing and installing the networks was not enough … the schools also needed some way to maintain the networks after they were up and running。 Cisco Senior Consulting Engineer George Ward developed training for teachers and staff for maintenance of school networks。 He soon discovered that the personnel lacked the time required to learn the material； so he moved to the next population of learners in the school … the students themselves。 The success of these student seminars led to requests from participating schools across the country for Cisco to develop a curriculum that could be integrated as elective courses taught in a semester format。 The formalized curriculum and support activities evolved into the Cisco Networking Academy Program。
The concept proved to be a powerful draw for students； many of whom initially volunteered for classes outside normal school hours。 Today； thousands of students coast to coast are pioneering a school…to…work program engineered for a new global economy。
The Solution
Through the Cisco Networking Academy program； high school and college students can learn the information needed prepare them for the Cisco Certified Networking Associate exam。 This certification positions them for immediate openings in a talent…hungry job market or for engineering… and science…focused college studies。 In a nutshell； the Cisco Networking Academy is a complete； four…semester program on the principles and practice of designing； building； and maintaining networks capable of supporting national and global organizations。
Cisco provides course work for a complete range of basic through advanced networking concepts … from pulling cable； through such complex concepts as subnet masking rules and strategies。
The program uses Regional Academies as hubs； each of which supports a minimum of ten Local Academies。 These Regional Academies teach the teachers who oversee programs at the Local Academies under their jurisdiction。 The Regional Academies funnel input to Cisco on topics such as individual school performance； curriculum quality and effectiveness； and student progress。
The format for the classes reflects the content： interactive lessons stored largely on the classroom's Cisco Web server。 The Academy design also accommodates diverse learning styles。 For those who learn by reading； text is available。 More visual learners can focus on the course material's extensive graphics and QuickTime movies。 To promote development of the personal skills that underpin successful careers； projects require students not only to resolve technical issues but also to successfully address network users' needs。
Local Academies receive mentoring and technical support from the Regional Academies and are backed by SMARTnet？ services； a service and support program that provides round…the…clock access to assistance from Cisco's Technical Assistance Center （TAC） and the Cisco Connection Online （CCO） Web site； plus major software and maintenance releases； product documentation updates； and next…day delivery of replacement parts。
Benefits and Results
The Cisco Networking Academy Program is in its first full year at schools。 But the pilot semester at one site； Thurgood Marshall Academic High School in San Francisco； provides an indication of the potential impact： more than 25 percent of the students involved in the school's program in Spring 1996 secured summer jobs as a direct result of their single…semester experience。
And for teachers who have seen the early impact on students and their futures； the Academy stands as a model for school…to…work programs。
Dennis Frezzo； technology instructor at Thurgood Marshall says； 〃In one leap； Cisco has helped us have the most effective school…to…work program I've seen locally； and we're proud of that。〃
〃The energy level of these students is so high； it's hard to find the words to describe it；〃 says Barry Williams； who oversees Regional activities for the Round Valley School District in Springerville； Arizona。 〃Once； about half of my students had permission to leave school about 20 minutes early。 But not a single one left。 I talked topologies and media for 90 minutes without a break。〃
