      Pros

      The perks are good but thats about it. There is a the all famed claim that "Cisco is a big company" but that is all that happens. From the day you join till end you hear the same dialogue again and again.Everything is an aquired project and no one has a clue about bringing it to ship shape quality. The cafeteria is even outsourced so to speak and it was the worst caterers ive ever seen in my life. The people raise complains all the time but its of no use. Occasionally theres a fire drill for which we need to run downstairs , thats one thing i learnt from there

      Cons

      sick management lack of vision no proper management or visionary views no guidance or mentoring in moulding new employees into anything

      Pros

      *Impactual Work *Mid level management and lower level people are really great to work with *Great Flexibility. You can definitely work at any time *No fourloughs!!

      Cons

      *It's not a democracy, so never ever think for a second it is. It is a command control system, so don't let them fool you by saying it is not. When the decisions come from the top, very little input comes from those on the bottom *Cisco is somewhat too much of a fiscal conserative company. In this environment, it is a good thing, but everything has a line, and they seem to have crossed that line. They seem to overpay for acquisitions and not invest enough in the employees they currently have. They always say they want to be the leader or benchmark, but when you need funding for a project, or cuts in discretionary spending happen, they state that they are just following industry standard.. somewhat ironic. *Career advacement is too much determined on who you know, than what you do.
