Pros

big company. lots of folks, lots of projects. Potential to find something you like very high. You can also relocate to any part of the world for projects. health benefits are becoming more expensive every year. There are *great* visionaries in Cisco. They get the big leaps in technology right - every time. The incentive systems have become squeaky but still work to a large extent. We need to reform and get a bit of the old Cisco magic back.

Cons

Big company drags you down. The processes. Strong pull to the median. Not much transparency. Some folks get by with 40 hour weeks whereas others kill themselves with 100 hour weeks. Not a fair place by any means.

Pros

Great benefits, telecommuting, industry leader, opportunity to learn networking from the best, ability to move within the company.

Cons

Depends on which organization you work for. Middle management is bloated and weak leadership makes matters worse. Re-organization in Engineering is frequent with a general lack of accountability. The new mantra of collaboration might not improve this situation. Recognize that you are responsible for your development and if you face the above, look out for better opportunities within the company.
