Pros

Great pay with awesome benefits. Tons of highly motivated and highly qualified technical teams. Get to design the most expensive, most complicated systems imaginable and actually see them deployed.

Cons

Management is hostile towards technology. The less technical you are the higher you can rise in the ranks. Engineers and technical individual contributors are second class citizens whose recommendations are largely ignored, then are cut when management's revisions fall flat. Zero accountability of any kind for decision makers.

Pros

I have been contracting with Cisco (under 3 different bosses) for over one year. They never want to pay overtime. Pros: There is a lot of work.

Cons

There is too much work --- on average 10- 12 hours per day w/o OT.
