Pros

Great brand and products which opens doors with customers. Opportunity to work with various technologies.

Cons

Managers managing up and only looking after themselves and not their staff. Consistent power games and bickering between management. Lot of senior staff have left business recently.

Pros

Health benefits, on site daycare and healthcare.

Cons

Poor Leadership, continuous cost cutting and culture erosion over time. Projects kick off but are rarely completed. Tons of outsourcing and laying off of people to rehire the same job in low cost areas. Way too much Power Point and too little leadership. People are promoted for managing up vs. enabling their teams and doing the right thing for Cisco and the customer. It is incredibly political and you don't know when or if you will be laid off if your not in with the right people. I finally quit after working there for over a decade.

Great work life balance, work from home options if you want

Cons

favoritism, lack of leadership, constantly managing people out in unfair ways, some people are treated well but if you are not a favorite they don't care about you.
