Pros

Flexibility is probably the key benefit to working at Cisco. We have the ability (and also the responsibility) to manage our work/life in whatever why we feel is appropriate. We are measured on results, and not (always) on being politically visable.

Cons

We are not as good at giving feedback as we would like to believe. Cisco is very open in giving positive feedback, and if something goes very wrong, we are very open addressing it and improving on it. However when things run 'ok' the organisation never really takes time to feedback and improve on it.

Pros

salary top, high skilled employees, performance based salary, this is a top employer for top employees - average skilled or talented people have no chance

Cons

no budget for training, high workload (60h per week as manager is average), high pressure on numbers on quarter (go for year!)
