      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

      Strong, stable employer; nothing flashy but very solid.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Very stable employer. I contracted here during the financial crisis, and I was allowed to stay for the entire duration of my 6 month contract. If you want to advance here, you do need to work your butt off and understand big corporation politics, but this organization is large enough that opportunities exist in enough places.

      Cons

      Really hard to stand out. Hope you get a good tech lead and/or manager for this in engineering.

      Challenging work offers great opportunities, growth potential

      Manager, marketing operations
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I work with some of the smartest, most talented people in the Valley. The company is moving fast and offers a lot of opportunities for professional growth. Management appreciates our efforts, and when things are going well bonuses are generous.

      Cons

      The work is difficult and the hours are long. The expectations continue to rise and the timelines continue to shrink. It's a tough place to work and--while often personally and professionally rewarding--not always a heck of a lot of fun.
