      Pros

      There are very good people at Cisco and comitted to customer success. The senior management is smart and understands the business. Benefits are good and overall compensation is on par with the industry. There are different opportunities to learn and grow in different technologies. Cisco is the leader in shaping the way the world communicates. It will be a great company for a long time.

      Cons

      Promotion opportunities are limited. You either have to have been here over 10+ years or have come in at the level you feel you are working at. Once inside, unless you have a guardian, performance with a combination of ability will not you get you very far.

      Pros

      Good compensation (both salary and benefits), exposure to new technologies (everything continuously changes) opportunity to move to different roles (given the breadth of products and number of organizations, there are continuous opportunities for change). Depending on your manager - and out of 7 managers, I've only had 1 bad manager - you are given a goal and allowed to achieve that goal.

      Cons

      It has become a big company with a lot of overhead and process. Some process is good, but as it grows and evolves the process gets in the way of getting the job done. At corporate there is too much politics. When I started at Cisco, there was a feeling we were a conglomerate of start-ups. That feeling is gone. I've only had one manager who severely over committed the available resources making my life miserable.
