Pros

Flexible work schedule depending on your immediate manager -- but if you are expected to work 20 hours -- does it really matter? It might be possible to use your time spent at Cisco in lieu of course work towards Political Science degrees.

Cons

Not a technology-oriented company. Not many US educated employees, nor many people with advanced engineering degrees. Employees are usually Indian with a typical background (Indian education from unknown universities); get on the boat using India Consultancy Inc.; jump ship to Cisco and hang around there for a long time to become part of management -- continue hiring new people off the boat -- build empires and bask in the glory of sycophants.
