Pros

Great work life balance in the group which I worked. Good benefits.

Cons

No raises without getting a new job. Management is very reactive, despite employees being encouraged to be proactive. Personal feelings brought into the organization from management, i.e. work performance being graded on how much charity you do at home. And donations are not good enough, you MUST donate time. To me at least, you should be graded at work on how well you do your job, not on what you do at home.

Pros

You can balance personal life very well with job. Again, it depends on the which group you are working with. You can just plan to work for eight hours a day, rest is yours. Benefits are good compared to other same level of organizations.

Cons

Management is old-school. It is hard to convince the management some times, as they can not see the value in the innovations. For the same reason, management fail to asses/promote good resources

Pros

It's a great environment to work in. Everyone I worked with was great. I'd love to work there again. You get hands on experience with amazing gear.

Cons

Try to get all your Cisco certs before you get hired on full time. There are not a lot of downsides to working at Cisco.
