Pros

Cisco is a top company in the field, adapt new changes well, have a lot of opportunity of growing if you're willing to, and have diverse culture.

Cons

The people were good but the cubicles let me feel Cisco less-frendly working environment.

Pros

The three things I liked best about working at Cisco were: *The people *The products *The freedom to try new things

Cons

Cisco is a large company and faces the challenges that all large companies do. However, even more than most, it is a highly decentralized decision-making culture that relies heavily on collaboration and compromise to get things done. While this often pushes decision making authority down farther into the company (pro), it also necessitates a lot of meetings and constant internal negotiations which slow down many projects.
