Pros

Great security product set with good vision for security.

Cons

Mgmt is a revolving door and no one knows how to manage up! Unrealistic quotas are set which means we make no where near our OTE!

Pros

-Still some amazing people to work with and endless learning opportunities -If you are early in career, this is currently the place to be -Very flexible work schedule in most positions with a lot of latitude to work remotely

Cons

-If you are middle aged white male demographic, you have a better chance of becoming the morning weather girl than to advance -Bloated corporate structure -- lot of unwritten rules about moving into new positions (did you do this job and this job first, etc.) -Lack of excitement and lot of turnover right now...lot of long time pros are leaving the company which could be pro or con depending on your perspective.

Pros

best environement inside the company.

Cons

Company management should treat contractors from cosnultancies also as a employees. Should make them permanent once they complete 2 years of work experience at cisco. That policy of removing contractor depending on thier flexibility is very bad. should consider them also as employees. Contractors also involved in making revenue to the company right. then why that much negligance about the contract employees life.
