      Pros

      - some interesting projects - majority of people are smart, though that is changing - flexible work hours

      Cons

      - Cisco services is slowly being turned into a sweat shop - layoffs don't make sense - quality of projects is going down - quality of new hires is abysmal - managers of tech teams are non-technical especially in services.

      Finally, got Pay raise after the big layoff

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      leader in networking area flexible working hours and relaxing (sometimes layback) working environments starting salary is reasonable for new graduate Feel like home environment for foreign workers (70% of engineers are Asian. Many executives (directory, VP) are Asian (mainly Indian). A lot of talents in networking area. A great place for Assurance engineers or managers (QA) because the pay is the same as other developer or managers, no discrimination like other companies.

      Cons

      The pay raise is crawling slow. Need to fight with others most of the them. A lot of overlapping products among different departments Layoff is an annual ritual Constantly outsource jobs to other countries like India, China, Russia. Not enough talents in new technology. Buy company instead of building, most of the work is integration, not much learning (waste of time) unless you work for the acquired companies. Lack of internal documents on design, implementation due to job security for engineers and managers.
