Pros

The leadership is ethically sound, and an ethical culture is promoted. Employees are compensated fairly and managers are encouraged to be considerate towards allowing a good work/life balance. Engineers get to work on modern and leading-edge network technologies, often with a deep worldwide market penetration, which can be rewarding.

Cons

Cisco does not have any real research division. All work is very product-to-market focused. The company is very big, which means bureaucratic processes, red tape and in-fighting. Engineers work in very boring cubicles. The "break rooms" are noisy, dirty kitchens.

Pros

Lots of great people you will be working with. Flexibility compare to the others at the same size.

Cons

Getting more bureaucratic. Had lost quite a number of good people. Need more focus in innovation that disrupt the market.
