Pros

Better Salary than most companies will offer. No Micromanagement More annual vacation days than normal Good use of new technologies at the workplace

Cons

Upper management seem to exist in a dream world that is run by John Chambers and everything is just wonderful all the time. Not the case. They seem to be totally removed from the average employee and take decisions without consultation that affect everyone.

Pros

Pays reasonably, decent benefits, in the city, nice office, some decent products, and a well recognized name on your resume.

Cons

The management has to approve every damned thing, so almost everything has to be decided by committee so it can get rejected later.

Pros

Stable company - could spend your life and retire at peace. But it has lost all its charm of the good old 90's

Cons

Not enough employee development opportunities Not a fair promotion process Employees are not rewarded for good work Long standing loyal employees are starved for promotion while those that come in with acquisition get a jump Overall low employee moral!
