CISCO: a good place overall, can do better on recognition and retention for folks "on the ground".

Senior program manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Dynamic place, lots of different work alternatives for work and career if you are competent and adaptive

Cons

Some of the project work can be grueling. Some key work goes to outside consultants that are compensated at much higher rates than FTEs, which can be quite demoralizing for the teams in the long run.
