      Great Work/Life Balance - Subpar Leadership

      Financial analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great work/life balance, beautiful campus, decent comp (not competitive to bay area tech peers though)

      Cons

      No set salary increase schedule, lots of written "benefits" that never come to light (e.g. spoke to manager about getting tuition assistance for courses directly related to field and was told that the program was basically eradicated even though it is still written as a benefit),

      Trying Hard to Get Its Groove Back

      Senior marketing manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great work/life balance, ability to work from home or work a flexible schedule. Great benefits (401K match, decent salary/bonus, ESPP, medical benefits, PTO, etc.). Brand name company with global recognition. If you're under 30, you'll be lavished with attention and promotion.

      Cons

      Lots of instability due to quarterly restructuring. Poor mid-level managers who have been at Cisco for eons and are more concerned with managing up. Very passive aggressive culture. No annual review process -- if you're manager is weak, you will not be recognized for achievements. Layers of VPs who talk a good game but are poor on execution.
