Cisco Systems

Our office is located over in Manjunath Layout, which is part of the Munnekola area in Bangalore. If you’ve ever tried to navigate the streets around here, you know it can be a bit of a maze with all the new buildings and the narrow roads. We’ve been set up in this spot for a bit, and it’s a pretty standard work environment. It’s not one of those massive tech parks you see on the other side of town. It’s just a building where we have our space to sit down and get through the daily tasks. The lighting is okay, and we have enough desks for everyone, though things can get a bit crowded when everyone is in at the same time. We usually have the radio playing softly in the background or just the sound of everyone typing away. Being in Munnekola means we are close to a lot of things, but it also means we deal with the usual Bangalore noise and construction. We don't spend much time worrying about how the office looks to outsiders. We’re more concerned with making sure we finish our lists and respond to things on time. It’s a very normal, everyday kind of place. We take our breaks when we can, maybe grab some food from a nearby stall, and then get back to it. It’s just a group of people working hard in a quiet corner of Manjunath Layout.
