      Pros

      Great colleagues and many people who are collaborative and willing to work with you. The remote work policy is great with some flexibility. Used to be a great place to work for many years. Company as a whole is actually pretty pleasant, certain organizations are not.

      Cons

      Most unprofessional managers in the last 6-12 mos who feel entitled to threaten and bully employees. Managers asks employees to do work even after having approved PTO days. Open space feels like a fish bowl.

      Pros

      The line of work is interesting, and mostly cool projects to work on. My direct team is great. Stable. Work from home option is great.

      Cons

      There is a definite corporate politics atmosphere, where schmoozing is important the higher up you are. I have experienced a culture of entitlement from execs who believe the world revolves around them.

      Thank you for your advice. I agree that people work hard to help each other at Cisco, and it's important to recognize them and to return the favor in order to build a positive work culture.

      Pros

      Flexible working hours; Good overall health benefits

      Cons

      A lot of politics to play; Management change frequently, and not every leader understands the business; The idea to change to open space is a bad call. It works some people, but not ALL; No cap award, little recognition, and no salary raise for years; Re-org, lay-off is norm every summer;
