      In the ten years I have worked for Cisco, I have seen it go from a young gun to a bloated, top-heavy fat cat.

      Pros

      Telecommuting and time off flexibility. Kudos in company name, for the moment. Fantastic people to work with. Some managers are truely excellent, but they're fewer and farther between.

      Cons

      Major politics, with too much empire building and protectionism. Lack of clear focus, with random brain farts of management converted to policy. Cut back in employee training and peer network development (ie trade show attendence) is extremely short-sighted. Innovation is stunted by need to keep management happy. Middle management are just out to keep their slice of pie, and not rock the boat.

      Pros

      Cisco runs a high tech work environment. It offers good compensation, a flexible work schedule, and four weeks of vacation. Cisco is an industry leader.

      Cons

      It is becoming increasingly process-heavy without value commensurate to process. San Jose is the center of the Cisco world. Remote sites do not get ownership of non-trivial projects. Cheap engineering in India is the new business model.
