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.

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.
