      Pros

      The company has obviously great name recognition, and it's a good place to jump start a career and move off into other companies. Cisco has Solid management -- lots of talented people are there, although now things move a bit more slowly than at a more nimble startup environment.

      Cons

      It's a long way from San Francisco, where I live, and my job made it difficult to work from home. I was on the WebEx side, and it's not completely a meritocracy -- it's often been a place where having a good relationship with higher ups mattered more than talent or impact.

      Pros

      Tremendous felxibility and great work/life balance with an extremely competitive compensation package. Very autonomous work atmosphere which allows the employee to be creative in their solutions while working at a pace that best suits their abilities. Great leadership guiding the company going forward and a tremendous amount of high growth opportunities on the horizon for the company.

      Cons

      Slow moving (as with a lot of large companies), too many inefficiencies and redundancies, lack of visibility to senior management.
