Pros

Cisco is growing! There are a wide range of career opportunities for motivated workers. They encourage employees to continuously learn and add to their skills. They recognize achievements fairly and promote based on accomplishments. It is a fast paced environment where team work is cherished. There are no boundaries and innovation is sacred. Your input will be valued if it is valuable. You can live your dreams at Cisco

Cons

It is a very large company. Rather than consentrating on being a superstar you must concentrate on being an outstanding team member. You are measured on the value you bring to the project, team, organization and most importantly the customer. This may be more difficult for people who tend to do better solo.

Pros

The company is extremely progressive in trying new methods of working; i.e. telecommuting, social networking, collaboration etc. They are concerned about the environment and are urging everyone to go "Green". The people are friendly and the managers are very supportive both professionally and personally. This company bends over backwards to ensure employee happiness and work/life balance.

Cons

I can't think of any. Maybe I've just been lucky, but I've worked under several managers here and most of them have been extremely good managers and made working at Cisco a pleasure.
