      Great place to have 2 years of impact, exit or become stale.

      Pros

      Cisco is a well oiled machine. It has great support systems and if you like stability you will get on fine. If you are aggressive you will always have the opportunity to build a good niche and possibly a great team that will give you much satisfaction. But it won't be handed to you - you need to use your social networking skills to create the opportunity.

      Cons

      The sheer size makes if inefficient. If you come from the startup world that will wear on you after a while. One should stay at Cisco no more than 4 years in the same job. If you try and go external (to startups) you will be viewed as inflexible and some significant skepticism. This isn't always the case, but it is common to see people doing the same thing, getting stale and suddenly (maybe being pushed) to "see what is out there."

      Pros

      Great company, good leadership, very good benefits, people take pride in their work and actually help each other succeed. Little pettiness, very professional organziation and community--coworkers are actually friends. Salaries are very good.

      Cons

      Very little downsides. High expectations, as this is a very high performing organziation. But that is to be expected. There is nowhere to "hide" at Cisco. If that's what you want or you don't have a good work ethic, look elsewhere.
