Pros

employee empowerment. work areas, and employee benefits. Very open minded in hiring practicies, laid back approach to corporate polices, no dress codes, free sodas, jucie, tea, coffee and popcorn. working with cutting edge technology, and the opertunity to work with some of the sharpest people in the industry.

Cons

Long work hours needed to compete with peers. Tough policy of maintaining the top 10%, their is constant pressure to manage out the bottom 5% performers, as there will always be a bottom 5%, there is constant pressure to stay on top of your game. Cisco sells the company ownership package to argue lower salaries.

Pros

Pay and benefits. There is a great culture here and it feels like family. People know your name, they feed us quite well. The benefits are good although the 401k could be much better.

Cons

Micro managing from exec level down...too much control and not autonomous. There is also a lack of some back office systems that are needed greatly. There is a lot of old tyme things that should not be taking place in this day and age. Other than that, things are ok. i would like to see some upgrades in IT though.
