      Pros

      Not many...but still some good people there

      Cons

      Very political company now How a company like Cisco can have $30B in cash, not give even minimal cost of living raises and reduce benefits regularly and be considered a great place to work is beyond me... Management treats employees like idiots and HR provides a playbook about how to answer employee questions, so no matter which organization you go to - you get the same answer.

      Pros

      Ability to work from near enough anywhere Work with some of the latest technologies and products Stable and debt free company

      Cons

      If you currently have a social life and want to keep it, don't work for Cisco - work/social life balance is pathetic. Salary does not match work load - Expectation to give too much personal time without reward. Too much micro empire building in management. It used to be a great place to work, a fun place to work, now it's just a place to work to pay the bills Too much focus on ePM - a lot of expense, back end systems, staff supporting a system/process that is totally time consuming and meaningless.

      Pros

      Vast amount of information and learning available to you. Technology Leader

      Cons

      One manager can derail your entire career if they have favorites they want to advance. Once you start in one sales organization as a systems engineer, services manager, etc. you are not considered to be carrying a bag. It is career limiting to go to Human Resources about any job roles and or management issues.
