Pros

I knew it wasn't the right place for me within three months, but I lasted three years. It's basically a typical big company with the advantages and drawbacks you'd expect.

Cons

The isn't really a clear path up the corporate ladder beyond director. Most of the management was somehow from another company. It's usually ranked as a good place to work, but I always felt like they went through the motions on the criteria and didn't actually care.

Pros

Cisco is pretty much what you'd expect of a company with 70,000 employees. High levels of management overhead, and if you're towards the bottom of the tree (as most people are) then to a large extent you just become one of the numbers. Benefits are good, pay is reasonable but not great.

Cons

Again - just what you'd expect of a 70k person company.

Pros

Good benefits reasonable hours if you work smart and set limits can work from home friendly coworkers good intranet with tons of information

Cons

Lack of ambition amongst coworkers. Many people are very comfortable with their jobs and set in their ways. Not a good place for a young and ambitious person. Lack of excitement. Offices are very plain. Cafeterias are closed after lunch. Is English the language of business here? sometimes I wonder
