Pros

Cisco in the Middle East is very dynamic with a lot happening and amazing growth. We are working on many interesting projects and initiatives and we are way ahead of our competition thanks to our investment in the region and coverage.

Cons

Working in an ever changing environment can be tough due to the unknown. Pressure is extremely high within Cisco Middl East and a lot of the time this pressure is unjustified. Management are focused on growth, growth, growth.

Pros

- The salaries and bonuses are acceptable. - You get to work with latest technology - Very smart and talented co-workers

Cons

- Every year, approximately from July to Sept, Cisco targets internal organizations for reduction in head count. Your job is at risk every year. - Salary increases are rare - Once technology becomes stable, Cisco moves development to India and leaves US employees to search for new position or leave Cisco. So, if you do a good job, you are rewarded by losing your job. - Cisco is always trying to get rid of the bottom 5%. After a while, this reaches the good workers. - You work long hours, weekends, all-nighters, etc - very limited job opportunities outside HQ - no professional development. - no training dollars.
