      Good pay and benefits, short on growth opportunities

      Technical manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benefits and Salary are very good. Flexibility in hours and range of products. Organizations vary considerably as to work environment. Best President a company could have--extraordinary and inspiring leader.

      Cons

      No growth opportunities either laterally or providing growth experience after a certain point. Cisco likes to keep qualified people doing exactly the same thing so strong performers get bored and demotivated after so many years. Reorgs are only executed at the top level, resulting in people, often managers doing the same thing, or confusion about responsibilities. .

      It is a Software job

      Software engineer i
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good for anyone who lives networking, C, Java, and web applications. Pays well and benefits are ok. Work from home is especially good.

      Cons

      It is a software engineering job and can be very boring and tedious at times. Java is non-algorithmic coding and the only thing you learn is more Java. You don't really research any novel ideas and implement them, just maintain and update old products with new features. Features developed sometimes makes you think if anyone will use it, even internally. If you are not interested in software, this is not your heaven. Performance is based on how many customer found defects you resolve and quality of your code.

      Not the good ol' Cisco

      Systems engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The best reason is having the ability to work remotely.

      Cons

      Cisco has changed dramatically over the last 5 years. Management no longer cares about the employee and it's policies/procedures are non-existent. One would think this organization would have it together. Sadly they don't, which it's sales team and resellers can affirm.
