Pros

Talented people, diverse workforce, decent benefits

Cons

Too big and slow. Constant personnel churn - laying off thousands of people and hiring thousands of people. The lay offs are demoralizing.

Pros

Good benefits, facilities and market position. Some first rate people, particularly Systems Engineers. Strong partner network. Good quality equipment.

Cons

Weak management, too many conflicting business priorities and strategies, lack of domain experts in some business areas, poor morale, low investment in potentially high growth business areas. Expensive equipment compared to others in market. Progress and promotion is not merit based but through sucking up.

Pros

Can't think of anything good about working for Cisco now, though they used to be a great company ~15 years ago

Cons

Treat employees like garbage. Recognition depends on who you know in the senior management chain not how well you do your job. Target older (50+ years old) employees for layoff.
