      Pros

      It is very performance oriented place to work at. Employees are given due credit for the good work that they do. Flexible work hours and good use of technology to save time are the most advantageous features available.

      Cons

      A few managers tend to be baised and make employees over-work. Because of its size, limited growth opportunities

      Pros

      Flexible work schedule depending on your immediate manager -- but if you are expected to work 20 hours -- does it really matter? It might be possible to use your time spent at Cisco in lieu of course work towards Political Science degrees.

      Cons

      Not a technology-oriented company. Not many US educated employees, nor many people with advanced engineering degrees. Employees are usually Indian with a typical background (Indian education from unknown universities); get on the boat using India Consultancy Inc.; jump ship to Cisco and hang around there for a long time to become part of management -- continue hiring new people off the boat -- build empires and bask in the glory of sycophants.
