Pros

Great technology, great people... fun to be a part of something that is growing so rapidly and so well known in the industry. Rapid pace and lots to do. Great focus on personal growth and development.

Cons

Starting to show signs of an old school tech company that is getting slowed down in the paperwork and has too many people making too many processes to make processes.

Pros

Great company, great benefits, good top level leadership

Cons

Services sending jobs overseas. Poor leadership in support division. No opportunities for growth or lateral moves. Won't allow you to apply outside of services. Laid off complete site with no plan to cover the work. Low morale. People expected to work through lunch and work overtime. Customers very unhappy. Many customer escalations.

Pros

Awesome campus Good perks Good pay and benefits

Cons

The company severely over-hired the last ~3 years (over half the 14000 headcount was added in that period). The lack of sufficient work of significance has created an unhealthy environment in many groups. Quite unfortunately, the influx of former Cisco people has contributed to the politicization of the company.
