Pros

The attitude of "customer success" is very prevalent within the company, so if you run up against a roadblock, using that magic phrase opens many doors.

Cons

In Customer Advocacy, there were no real opportunities for advancement unless you were willing to relocate to San Jose. Benefit costs increased substantially every year, but there were no raises to be had. Reorganization happened every 6 months, so I never had the same boss for one full review cycle. Management was constantly trying to justify the existence of our group by adding supplemental job tasks to the job description, but failing to recognize and evangelize the inherent value of our core deliverables.

Pros

Knowledge sharing is key. Everyone is open to help out. It is great in this industry to have access to the origin of new technologies and get your hands on anything you need.

Cons

As the company grows, cisco culture is being lost. I am happy here though, the grass isn't always greener on the other side.
