Pros

Health benefits vacation and flex time is good Nice cafeteria and office buildings Gym on-site with trainers and nice equipment Nice campus for walking

Cons

Working beyond reason - nights, weekends, etc so basically your pay isn't that great when spread out over all the hours. Better off to take a fun job and work nights somewhere. This is a very stressful and aggressive work environment. Politics reign supreme and it is not a fun place to work. Too much stress and management unable to respond appropriately. Pigeonholing and promotions based more on friendships/nationality then qualifications. A dead end opportunity for the vase majority. The company has changed so much - not the same Cisco it use to be.

The organization is a huge corporation making it is easy feel lost. Pay raises are not very easy to easy to come-by.
