The best thing about health insurance at Cisco is the comprehensive coverage. Cisco offers a variety of health insurance options, including medical, dental, and vision coverage, with excellent benefits for employees and their families. Additionally, a significant portion of the premiums is paid by the company, making it more affordable.
The worst thing might be the complexity of choosing plans. Due to the variety of options available, some employees may feel confused when selecting the plan that best suits their needs. Additionally, some employees may find that coverage is not always equal across different regions or that there are long waiting periods for certain benefits.

They do offer basic life at 2x salary, and discounts for extending that amount.
