      The company wastes too much time collaborating

      Pros

      Good place to learn IP/routing technology. Open and fair process in place for information sharing. Good and knowledgeable employees.

      Cons

      Heavy on processes. HR and Finance put rigid rules. The company wastes volumes on unnecessary collaboration. A sales force that has no desire to sell more than its quota. The sales force waits for the channels, and resellers to make and maintain the customer contacts. It does not know how to do business directly with the end customers. It is also not well structured to reduce overlaps among the BUs.

      Cisco has the potential to be a very good place to work, but may be in a layoff - underperforming spiral.

      Pros

      * Used to work with many talented people. Many of the seasoned professionals were allowed to leave to our competitors while we paid them a year's salary. * Fair compensation * Fair work hours with good work/life balance.

      Cons

      * You won't get rich working at Cisco * With most managers having 8-14 reports and raises focused on the top 25%, you won't be receiving raises on a regular basis.

      Used to be a great place, but not any more

      Pros

      Flexible work hours, large parking spaces and great talented people. Many innovations from this company and the products that enable the world of internet.

      Cons

      Lack of accountability and very fat top management which has no clue about the technologies. Management is totally sales oriented and has no regard for Engineering and technology.
