One of the great things about working at Cisco is that your judged
on your abilities. No one cares what you wear to work. There is
no dress code at Cisco. We have hippies, guys with ponytails,
guys with a vast assortment of tattoos, tongue piercings, eye brow
piercings, managers who look like they just got back from woodstock
etc etc etc.

I will say this, if you were to come to an interview at Cisco wearing
a shirt and tie, or even a sportcoat, your interviewers might not want
to work with someone who is stiff and uptight.

Regards Ken
