      Well established but boring.

      Software engineering intern

      Pros

      Cisco Choice Program is great for full time hires. However, as an intern you really won't get much "choice". You do get PTO at the same rate as full times which is a nice perk.

      Cons

      Very much a large company. Bogged down by bureaucracy, multiple versions, protocol. Can be very frustrating. Also not a very exciting place to work for people under 30.

      Decent Internship Experience

      Software engineering intern
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great pay for an internship, great experience if you end up in the right group. San Jose's a nice area to live for the summer, and the other interns there are good people.

      Cons

      The learning curve when you join makes most of a three month internship dedicated to figuring out what's going on in the company, although I'm sure this is pretty common across companies this size. The intern experience can vary greatly depending on what group you end up in, and there's no way to know this before hand. Some groups will have you doing real work while others won't.

      Pros

      fair pay, reasonable hours, on iste gym, cafes, etc. there are pockets of good people and some very productive teams. you just have to find them

      Cons

      sexist (toward women), leadership isn't the best and brightest, colleagues aren't always straight forward and there tends to be a fair amount of passive-agressive behavior
