Early Career Training Can't be beat!

Pros

The ASE program is all encompassing for someone coming straight out of college. You'll learn everything necessary from a sales and technical standpoint. The program is challenging, but not overwhelming. Very much recommended.

Cons

Information is unnecessarily difficult to find- poor internal organization of sales presentation, licensing, tech specs, you name it. Instead of developing google-like searching for internal queries, Cisco is employing ppl to be full time search engines. This is a good training environment, but questionable in terms of efficiency.

Pros

There is a great work life balance, depending on which organization you fall under. You will be working with very intelligent people. It's great on your resume.

Cons

Cisco is a very competitive environment. However, there is great collaboration among the employees. They have too many products and are hurting their cash cow. Food isn't that great.

The Best Place to Work

Pros

Cisco is one of the best places that I've ever worked. Even among other IT companies such as SAS and Google, I think Cisco stands out as one of the best. (Okay, Google was really good too, and possibly cooler, but I still say Cisco is better.) Why? I can sum it up in one word: culture. The people here are amazing, and always willing to help you out and help you grow in your career. I've never loved the place and people I work with more. It's also a very good place to build a career, with a lot of lateral movement within the company. And if you're willing to work at it there is a lot of opportunity for advancement as well. Just be prepared to work harder than anyone else if you want it.

Cons

The work/life balance is a little skewed towards the work side. But they have seminars on just this topic. It's not as crazy as Google, but I do spend more than 40 hours a week at work fairly often. Luckily Cisco allows you to work from home, so you're not stuck in the office the entire time.
