Pros

Good Technology Interesting work Great Engineers

Cons

Cisco management is now treating its employees like commodities Opportunities for growth are very limited in Cisco Cisco's mantra for the last 5 years has move everything to India (which failed since most projects sent there came back) Corruption in management is a concern. I have heard of managers who bring in contractors through their own companies so that they can get a piece of the action. Senior management is rumored to only open doors to vendors in whom they are allowed to hold stakes

Pros

Very stable employer. I contracted here during the financial crisis, and I was allowed to stay for the entire duration of my 6 month contract. If you want to advance here, you do need to work your butt off and understand big corporation politics, but this organization is large enough that opportunities exist in enough places.

Cons

Really hard to stand out. Hope you get a good tech lead and/or manager for this in engineering.
