Pros

Latest and greatest for network equipment and 40Gb+ optical stuff.

Cons

Just remember that Cisco is a company run by sales people. The engineers are an unfortunate evil required to sell more equipment. If the senior executives could get rid of of the engineers ( or replace them with engineers from India or China ) they would.
