      Very laid back with great perks but a little too laid back and easy to not get work done.

      Pros

      I only worked there for a summer internship but it was a great experience! Great pay rate for a software engineering intern, free drinks, basketball courts with plenty people to play with, great work play balance, very laid back.

      Cons

      I didn't feel like I accomplished as much work there because of how laid back it was. My manager was very distant and the only time we met was when I arranged a meeting.

      Well established but boring.

      Pros

      Cisco Choice Program is great for full time hires. However, as an intern you really won't get much "choice". You do get PTO at the same rate as full times which is a nice perk.

      Cons

      Very much a large company. Bogged down by bureaucracy, multiple versions, protocol. Can be very frustrating. Also not a very exciting place to work for people under 30.

      Decent Internship Experience

      Pros

      Great pay for an internship, great experience if you end up in the right group. San Jose's a nice area to live for the summer, and the other interns there are good people.

      Cons

      The learning curve when you join makes most of a three month internship dedicated to figuring out what's going on in the company, although I'm sure this is pretty common across companies this size. The intern experience can vary greatly depending on what group you end up in, and there's no way to know this before hand. Some groups will have you doing real work while others won't.
