      A very good work-life balance is all you can look forward

      Pros

      extremely flexible work lifestyle. Most staff work from home - they encourage staff to work from home to cut costs.

      Cons

      0 pay increment. I heard the longest is 5 yrs without pay increase. low career growth for individual contributors. You have to have direct reports in order to get promoted. Fringe benefits shrunk as a result of massive cost cutting measures. A few very senior and experienced professionals were repatriated in order to cut costs. This is a great demotivator. It shows the company do not recognise and value your contribution.

      Cisco looks better from the outside

      Pros

      Famous brand, lots of internal resources. So big that you can take the initiative to do your own thing. Different culture in different parts of the business. Good benefits (insurance, vacation). Love all the bleeding edge tech that you can use.

      Cons

      Politics is pervasive and saturates all decisions no matter how unimportant. Success depends on how good you are at schmoozing, the group you're in, your boss and who likes him/her.
