Pros

Flexible work arrangements and use of Web2.0 are widely available and well adopted. It is fun to work with new technology

Cons

Stagnant pay- there are usually many years between salary adjustments. No longer offering stock options for non-executive manager, pay cuts for contract-to-perm arrangements, salaray target @ 65% of market, managers are really not empowered to compensate based on performance- no matter what they tell you.

Pros

Smart & fun people most of the time. I working in marketing and really enjoyed the CMO organization which I think is now called "business marketing." and the US channels organization.

Cons

I would stay away from any type of internal communications marketing role. Internal communications at Cisco leave alot to be desired. It is a organization with no home, really. Poorly thought out organization, very difficult to work in & get cooperations from other groups. Mainly because they do not want the interaction, it is just another layer of red tape.
