Pros

able to work remotely - telecommuting even in different countries, ability to change job within company, stable company even in bad economy - large product portfolio

Cons

lower salary than competitors, culture differs for each BU - some BUs provide boring work, do just process, some are very fast moving (can burn you out)

Pros

Great benefits, good food, ability to telecommute

Cons

Cisco is a behemoth. I found it to be a very impersonal, cold environment where a majority of the employees seemed to have drank the Cisco "kool-aid."

Pros

Working on good technology. The benefits are great. Love the gym. Moving around within the company is great.

Cons

A lot of variation within the company. Some BUs are very laid back others are slave driving BUs. Too much cultural differentiation even inside Cisco. I think it's the result of too many acquisitions. I changed BUs 3 times so I know.
