      Pros

      Overall company performance is great

      Cons

      So much work outsourced to India; Incredible amount of red tape; get ready to be a number, not an individual.

      Pros

      I joined Cisco in 1995 and left in 2014. The company I joined was not the company I left. The culture of family existed in the 1990's and early 2000's. The products, technologies, and people were fantastic and still are very good.

      Cons

      Cisco now does what large companies do, which is annual layoffs. Sometimes these layoffs are actually ongoing just aren't reported as they are below 3% of the total employee population. This systemic issue leads to a culture of CYA and backstabbing, especially at executive levels.

      Cisco Webex Experience

      Pros

      Generally speaking, perks and benefits are strong, though Webex/Collaboration business unit underpays relative to other business units.

      Cons

      Rapid management turnover while there. Consultants running amok. Company was looking to deep dive into their customer usage data to pull out lots of insights. Probably a privacy concern for companies that use Webex for sensitive meetings...
