Pros

Cisco offers reasonable pay, ranked as top 25 paid company by CNN. Good name recognition. 4 weeks vacation. No major layoffs or RIF yet.

Cons

Long hours: 9 am - 7 pm. Might be common in bay area, but it's two hours more compared with east coast. The company headquarter sites in San Jose, a very expensive area.

Pros

Good Technology Interesting work Great Engineers

Cons

Cisco management is now treating its employees like commodities Opportunities for growth are very limited in Cisco Cisco's mantra for the last 5 years has move everything to India (which failed since most projects sent there came back) Corruption in management is a concern. I have heard of managers who bring in contractors through their own companies so that they can get a piece of the action. Senior management is rumored to only open doors to vendors in whom they are allowed to hold stakes
