Plenty of firms claim to do finance; Cisco actually does it, and from Stamford no less, with a gently-demanding stubbornness about quality. Our CT crew runs on candor, caffeine, and a stubborn refusal to ship sloppy work.

This position offers $67,000 - $100,000, comprehensive benefits, and genuine room to advance into leadership within finance.

Our hiring manager is personally reviewing every Financial Analyst application that comes in.
