Pros

Good Office Space. Nice location. Close to postoffice. mall. restaurants, even a spa. Good technology exposure.

Cons

This particular office used to be Intranetics, then Intranet, then Webex, now Cisco. The team is young with inflated titles and egos. Lack of motivation. The two middle managers ineffective. Run around like headless chicken. People do whatever they want to, managers pretty much let everything slide. There is no respect for the team or the managers in California (Headquarters). The culture is like a middle school - tattlers everywhere!! Understaffed and Ineffective.

Pros

- Ability to balance work and personal life - Ability to telecommute

Cons

- lack of clear career path - Work can be unchallenging at times - Large companies mean overspecialization which can lead to too narrow a focus - Management will give you more work that you want or can handle unless you put up boundaries - Sometimes you wonder if you are making a difference since you are so removed from the final product
