In Cisco ,your time and dream passes away but you remain the same !Dont take a chance with the name
Pros
Cisco ,the old brand name adds some value to job profile. Learn new technologies by chance of any new acquisitions since most new technologies and good selling prodcuts are acquired by cisco. Learn how to make things more complex. Having fun around compromising your work experience
Cons
Ridiculous manangement that have a philososphy of working to add an entry in performance review and not for the necessity. All happens in the name of process and no wonder if it doesnt happen at all :-D You can think about promotions in dream,oppurtunities in words. Full politics and no recognition for deserving candidates. Almost worst outsourced services like HR ,Work place resources, etc for employees. All happens in the name of process and no wonder if it doesnt happen at all :-D To say it simple,you can be recognised as a fool if you stay long. If more than that if you wish to take a chance then its your fate!
