Pros

I'm happy to have a steady job. People are usually impressed to know I work at a name recognized company.

Cons

Too much internal politics and backstabbing amongst senior management. I don't understand how the executives allow this to happen - unless they promote it. Excellent performing leaders are forced to leave for no good reason other than land grab.

Pros

Great vision from CEO - Chambers turned internet "plumbing" company into software/application/unified communications/collaboration/video/data center & server company in the last 5-10 years. Great sales execution Great product line - It almost sells itself Good pay & commission checks (because of reason above) Ability to work remotely Empowerment - WebEx conferencing, softclient IP phone allows above Flexibility - Allows personal choices for work devices such as Macbook Pros (at company's expense!) & iPhones

Cons

Slow career advancement Unclear on how to get promotions Company is severely cutting costs - no more free beverage, home internet, etc. Perceived poor leadership from development organization - most of our technology & new product lines are gained through acquisitions Salary increases are very little - expect none to 3-5% a year Pace of work (at least in sales) is FAST. Must control own work life balance.
