      Cisco is an OK place to work if you are a contractor

      Pros

      - Real recognition from upper management - Smart, technical hard working co-workers - Real team environment - Great place to work if you like the flexibility to work from home and the office - Great benefits even for contract employees

      Cons

      - 24 hour work environment can be a killer - Very hard to find your way up the ladder - Seems impossible to convert contractors to full-time employees

      Large company, relatively stable workplace

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good pay, time off, and benefits. Depending on the group, they do have reasonable work-life management. The nice thing is that employees seem to have the ability to move on to different groups (lateral moves) if they are tired of their projects. Cisco does have a new group (Emerging Technologies) that's trying to be more like a start-up environment by looking into new business areas.

      Cons

      Large company: Lots of processes, meetings galore. Political: It's more about who you know rather than your skill set. Cisco does have some really good people and groups though. Glass ceilings: Promotions are limited and you really need your manager to fight for you. If you are in a passive group, it's tough to move up.

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Even though the environment is high stress the pay is pretty good.

      Cons

      Very high stress job required 3x weekly commit calls to outline exact numbers of what deals you will be getting in that week.
