      Pros

      Broad based product line helps to flatten the economic ups and downs. Opportunity for advancement and generally recognition is based on performance.

      Cons

      Frequent change can slow progress as leadership decides how to implement what they are looking to do. People spend too much time/effort looking over their shoulder to figure out next LR.

      Great Corporation. Unfortunately, stayed loyal to a declining BU, got cut.

      Pros

      With Cisco for longer than a decade, can tell you that Cisco Corporation is absolutely the best corporation to work for - extraordinary people with great culture, and a winning mindset. ELT (executive leadership) is strong leaders with courage and vision, more importantly are amazing human beings.

      Cons

      Watch out for poorly run Business Units. Loyalty has zero value in Cisco. Declining business unit will cut people. And once laid-off, even if your skills and expertise match or exceed internal open openings, you are out of luck. Hope Cisco realizes and improve this aspect.
