Pros

Great team, good pay, nice managers (at least in the BU I work for). Plenty of new technologies to learn, with Gurus around you. Tons of cutting edge equipments to work on. 1 month of PTO for fresh, plus virtually unlimited choice of WFH via company paid broadband service. Top school districts around the campus.

Cons

Too many low level managers from a south Asia country and they are mean, mean, mean! Where goes the stock options? Not as well paid as Yahoo! and Google... especially by stock bonus. Relatively long working hours, although it's normal in the industry. No free lunch, like Google, and no free dinner, like Juniper.

Pros

Flexibility. Work life balance. The flexible schedule at Cisco allows one to balance family, extra cirriculars and higher eductation. Cisco is very supportive of ongoing training and higher education

Cons

Compensation. Hard to get promotions and salary raises. Even when one receives a promotions, the salary compensation for that promotion may not come until 1-2 quarters after. Bonuses are very fair though.
