Pros

Great cultural diversity, company perks in terms of dental cover and stock plans, etc.

Cons

Cisco is still built on the 'progression is based on time served, not merit' model, where the longer you've been here, the more you'll get. For young people starting out, out-performing their colleagues, not the greatest motivation to have. Also, for new fields, it's harder to define your career. Avoid if you're young.

Pros

- Flexible work Culture - Makes you very comfortable - Get to learn new technologies if you are in the right team

Cons

- Highly Political Environment - No Vision - Adopted Agile but stuck with lot of legacy. Its too big an elephant - Treats people bad - Senior Leaders dont stick for more than 3 years. They talk big and before realizing them they quit. total lack of accountability
