      Cisco is a great place to work

      Software engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The company is continuing to grow, creating many new interesting technologies to work on. Compared to other companies the salary is good, even better when you factor in bonuses. The work schedule is very flexible, and they allow telecommuting. Lots of perks like free soda, coffee, popcorn, gym usage, etc.

      Cons

      Some employees must work for remote managers since there are so many different offices.

      Still a Great Company But Room for Improvement

      Pros

      Nice place to work, but so are a lot of other places. The compensation is amazing. The initial job offers are almost impossible to turn down. Most employees are highly motivated about delivering new, top quality products to the customers. If you have the fortune to get on the right product team you really care about, your drive and commitment will help shape the solution from day one. You can focus on your job with minimum administrative distractions. Huge bonus in being able to spend the majority of your day writing quality code, less the distractions of administrative paperwork, irrelevant meetings etc.

      Cons

      Mobility in the company seems slow to average. Long hours in return for little merit and recognition. Probably due to a glut of middle management in the food chain perhaps? May result in a lot of managerial red tape in project approval process. Team creativity can sometimes stagnate as result.
