Pros

Great work/life balance, excellent benefits, challenging opportunities. Internal job rotation is getting better, used to be frowned upon in some groups. Great systems and internal tools to get information.

Cons

Limited career development opportunities. Unless you are a rising start, it's difficult to move upward. As the company is getting larger, it's difficult to get things done - too much beaurocracy. Managers are too busy to help, many times you will be on your own with limited support. Not much social interaction, groups and teams are very silod.

Pros

I would say one of the best reasons to work for Cisco Systems, -Smart People a lot of resources and technology to tap from. -Good experience depending on your role and group. - Global company with name recognition which could look great on your resume. - I like the idea of rotations but now not sure how that will work. ---- ---- --- --- -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Cons

I would say the biggest downside, the size and opportunity for career movement/promotions and transparency into that area. Too many meetings and not enough time to get work done. Tied down with the work which makes it hard to actually take the time to figure out what is going on outside your department.
