      Pros

      About as stable as it can be Work from home

      Cons

      No raises Decreasing benefits (health, food, drinks, etc. - some big items, some small) Food (used to be good) A lot of people on cruise control until things pick up..then they will leave the company Too much red tape No travel - non-HQ teams/member cannot meet. If you are not in San Jose, you are at a major disadvantage Too many corporate initiatives - can't keep track Loosing its luster on the resume Too big

      Good place to work - Management needs to try harder to retain talent.

      Pros

      Good Management (Mid-level line managers are great). Adequate recognition and rewards. Vast peer resources (Subject experts all around) Honest and accountable corporate culture. Resources for Cisco Certifications. Great health and gym benefits. Cisco is a great place to work if you're willing to reach out to the experts and take charge of your own initiatives. There are many resources along the way to help you out. I say, and continue to say, this is a great place for college grads for the first 5 to 10 years of their career.

      Cons

      Cost cutting in talent recruitment (i.e. no more college new hires in San Jose CA HW Campus). Lots of lifers just hanging around doing average work. Bureaucracy a major hinder. Those criticisms are with any large company.
