Great Experience, great company.

Pros

Access to great minds. If you network, you have a lot of access to people that can help and help you advance positions. You can get a position that requires travel to stay in your preferred area. Training is always available for free for Cisco products, but I always had training for other company products as a choice.

Cons

It's harder to advance if you are in the technical side and not in a major city where Cisco has a presence. Big company politics (just like any other). Lots of organizational changes. Sales organization is favored over other divisions.

Pros

Flexible hours. You are free to work whatever 70 to 80 hours you prefer each week. The yearly layoff packages are fairly generous. When you finally get laid off (and that is how most people who leave the company do so, you have a good chance to double dip for awhile) You learn alot about corporate politics. You learn how to keep your Director happy and what happens when you get a Director that doesn't like you. You get to say you worked at Cisco and it looks good on a resume.

Cons

Yearly layoffs. NO ONE is ever safe. No one. I have seen top tier, highest rated engineers be cut. I have seen low performers cut. The cuts rarely have anything to do with performance, but are based primarily on how much your Director likes you (or knows you) Cisco has fairly low voluntarily attrition, but very high layoff attrition (the PC term is "limited restructure". Management fails to realize that every LR is a failure of management.
