Pros

Cisco's vision as communicated by John and the rest of senior leadership is one that engenders hard work and loyalty "Change the way the world works, lives, plays, and learns." There are plenty of smart people and plenty of long hours...rewards are good, not great. Interesting work most of the time.

Cons

Lots of smart people and long hours make the competition for jobs and promotions fierce, especially if you're gunning for Director or above. Typical fast pace and lots of ambiguity to deal with.

Pros

High Tech Growing company Stable company Good place to learn

Cons

Restructuring is done based on groups rather than individuals. Manager should be appointed on people skills and technical knowledge.

Pros

Since Cisco is in a technical leadership position, it is possible to work on bleeding edge technology. It is exciting to be the first company to deliver a given technology.

Cons

Cisco has a lot of product overlap. As a consequence there is always a risk (and fear!) that your product will be cancelled. Communications from business unit leadership is often vague.
