Pros

Flexible work schedule depending on your immediate manager -- but if you are expected to work 20 hours -- does it really matter? It might be possible to use your time spent at Cisco in lieu of course work towards Political Science degrees.

Cons

Not a technology-oriented company. Not many US educated employees, nor many people with advanced engineering degrees. Employees are usually Indian with a typical background (Indian education from unknown universities); get on the boat using India Consultancy Inc.; jump ship to Cisco and hang around there for a long time to become part of management -- continue hiring new people off the boat -- build empires and bask in the glory of sycophants.

Pros

Cisco is a financially stable company and offers a breadth of areas in which you can work. I personally have worked in three countries with Cisco, and feel they remain in a good position for long term growth.

Cons

Cisco is becoming more process oriented as the size of the organization grows, and innovation can be stifled by internal politics and lack of communication. If you work in the wrong team (and hence the wrong management) it can be very frustrating.
