      Great company, but very difficult to advance in career

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great vision from CEO - Chambers turned internet "plumbing" company into software/application/unified communications/collaboration/video/data center & server company in the last 5-10 years. Great sales execution Great product line - It almost sells itself Good pay & commission checks (because of reason above) Ability to work remotely Empowerment - WebEx conferencing, softclient IP phone allows above Flexibility - Allows personal choices for work devices such as Macbook Pros (at company's expense!) & iPhones

      Cons

      Slow career advancement Unclear on how to get promotions Company is severely cutting costs - no more free beverage, home internet, etc. Perceived poor leadership from development organization - most of our technology & new product lines are gained through acquisitions Salary increases are very little - expect none to 3-5% a year Pace of work (at least in sales) is FAST. Must control own work life balance.

      Cisco is an OK place to work if you are a contractor

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Real recognition from upper management - Smart, technical hard working co-workers - Real team environment - Great place to work if you like the flexibility to work from home and the office - Great benefits even for contract employees

      Cons

      - 24 hour work environment can be a killer - Very hard to find your way up the ladder - Seems impossible to convert contractors to full-time employees
