Pros

Good social security Good pension Company car or payout if your role demands a car

Cons

No money to take out customers to treat them anymore a 50usd per person it maximum. Not allowed to travel if there not is an upside on a deal to do this. No base salary increase at all Company car have same amount of money as since 15 years back.... Only one company team event per year, kick-off in Las Vegas You can get kicked out anyday, management by fear from top WAY to much middle manager that just collect statistic but not contribute in any deals..... The good rating on "best company to work for" is just because all i so afraid to get laid off if they say anything not inline with what the company think... If you are a MAN, don´t apply for a work then we only quote in women, perfect candiate is a women, 25 years old with no IT history......

Pros

There are few cutting edge Technology work.

Cons

Worst place to be in. Layoffs are a must-followed ritual every quarter. No matter if you are 5 starer or not. They call it LRs.

Pros

I've worked for Cisco twice, the first time for five years a contractor. Then for a year and half as a full-time employee. Good pay, lots of remote positions.

Cons

Cisco's approach to fixing a system is Reorg! Every three months getting a new Director or Vice President. That person takes the baton to talk about whatever jargon the company is into at the moment without making any differences. Then cutting people, I think there were 3 or 4 rounds of layoffs when I was in. It's hard to take a company series, "we have awesome culture" when you position is like russian roulette.
