Pros

learn computer networking, meet smart people

Cons

employees of small companies they purchase are promoted over existing staff, travel, layoffs and cutbacks with 40 Billion in the bank ??? The Chinese companies, HP, Juniper, IBM, and companies headed by displaced former employees are poised to eat their lunch

Pros

* Great name recognition on your resume * Typically smart and competent coworkers * Wide market deployment for Cisco hardware, good exposure to customers * Stable company * Attention to good development practices like code review, unit test, etc. * Good benefits

Cons

* Big company means a lot of momentum, so change happens slowly * Support and maintenance for existing/legacy software can be frustrating * Some managers have no personal lives and expect you to behave similarly, often with the expectation of constant availability by email and working on weekends * Too much process slows down the pace of development
