Pros

The onsite medical facility, medical benefits, and the gym were excellent. Probably the only good thing about the place

Cons

Contributions only acknowledged if you are part of the right clique AND have been at the company for a million years. Not many subject matter experts and lots of things done in a very primitive fashion because management will not spend money to get things done. Executives seem to spend lavishly on themselves and seem overly compensated as individual contributors don't get so much as a cost of living raise and it is not uncommon for people to be at the same salary/grade level for years and years.

Pros

Great name to have on your CV. Very much empowered on the day to day. Good internal systems. Interesting thoughts but drinking the cisco 'cool aid' leads to poor understanding of the market

Cons

Terrible middle management. Lots of jobs for the clique. Culture was very much summed up in one phrase but a colleague 'cisco used to be a great place to work..now its just a place to work'
