Pros

Basically this is a good place and good company to work in. You have great and cheerful engineers as colleagues. The atmosphere between workmates are easy and comfort. Here you can learn much technical things from workmates. And you also have the chance to research new and tough technologies.

Cons

A too large company. So the opportunity for new comers is not much. The chance of promotion usually fall down to these guys with good achedamic background (PhD., gratuated from famours university, etc.) or have good personal relationship with management teams. As a normal engineer, if you can not find the chance to show your self to the high level management, then may be your chance of promotion is also few.

Pros

Good place to start a career within IT. The company exist of very diverced mix of young people. Although the company is now part of Cisco Systems it still remains with an own identity. It´s also a positive to have the name of Cisco in the brand as more people take you serious.

Cons

As the product allows companies to collaborate online from any place and any os system they are not that flexible to their own employees allowing them working from home that much. Another downside is that the EMEA-HQ mainly got US managers which is a disadvantage. It would be better if the management existed of european managers who understands the european diversity and complexity with regards to the different countries.
