Pros

Even though financial conditions are tough, people at Cisco seem to maintain a sunny outlook. It's not perfect, but there are many, many worse places to work. Compensation is not bad and the move to RSUs instead of options means that at least they are worth something.

Cons

Long hours, extensive travel....sales dominates (have a good quarter and you are a hero...even if you treat people like dirt). Can result in a macho culture
