      Pros

      Good benefits package Relatively stable Broad range of technologies one can work on Usually, work load not too bad (but it hugely depends on which part of Cisco one's with)

      Cons

      In my experience, if you're not from the right startup acquisition or the right part of the world, you may as well forget about career growth within. (So people go out and come back 1-2 yrs later and get promoted way faster than any amount of hard work within would ever get them promoted.) Likewise, from what I've seen, promotions are mostly about politics not ability or hard work.

      Optimistic to a fault

      Pros

      Action oriented culture. Willing to try new things. Good information sharing. Global company. Great sales force. Progressive for a big company.

      Cons

      Don't deal with systemic problems - just move on to the next new new thing. Scattered focus in too many areas. Management spread thin.
