Pros

There are so many opportunities for learning and advancement within Cicso. It's a fantastic place to continue to hone your technical skills, and what better place to do it then at the company that made the router ubiquitous. Some may say that Cisco has become slow or unresponsive as it's gotten bigger, but I never worked in a company with so many people willing to go above and beyond for you and/or the customer. You won't get as many stock options as you would at a start-up, but Cisco stock is actually worth money.

Cons

It really depends on what your position is in Cisco. In pre-sales where I am, the main downside is the difficulty of getting features that I need inserted into the code so my customer will buy Cisco. Other then that, there really aren't any downsides as long as you work hard.

Pros

Very collaborative environment where people work across functions to get the job done. I have been at Cisco a year and been very impressed with the caliber of employees and their thinking. I came to learn how other companies work, and have learned a lot about Cisco approach to business stargey form john Chambers himself at town hall meetings. I have been very impressed with the level of involvement John has with employees of this big company -- he is one of the premier business strategists on the planet, and yet is very approachable.

Cons

Some vestiges of big company bureaucracy, but that's changing. John Chambers has emphaiszed collaboration and has accelerated this through a series of online initiatives.
