      Pros

      -flexible work hours (@home etc) -good management (really depends on the BU/group, but this one was top notch). they stick up for their employees. -impetus is on the employee to make career advancement, but if you take initiative and play cards right, you'll be rewarded -- depending on your preferences or personality, this could be a good or bad thing. -good brand name for future careers elsewhere

      Cons

      -highly silo'd organization -unclear priorities or tasks at times -- might be mgmt related -need to know who to ask to get things done (politics). --to qualify this, seems like this would be pretty universal to any workplace, but many have stated it's more prevalent at cisco

      Pros

      It's a very pretty campus, easy commute from Durham, little traffic, can park next to building, friendly people, great food, its catered and many menu options change daily.

      Cons

      As an internship, I expected the ability to nurture and grow my career and education. Instead I'm stuck in a box, doing stuff a monkey could do. I have three managers, one is a day to day manager, the other is his supervisor, and the third is my manager/mentor in California. None of them realy give me the time of day. My day to day manager is a super nice guy and I have no problems with him whatesoever. I'm just so discouraged that the opportunities here are so limited. As a contractor, I have no benefits, I can't use 95% of the features that regular Cisco employees can. There is very limited career development here, and what there is, I can't touch, not a regular employee (and what there is is just productivity training and the like, not technical training that I actually need).
