Pros

A great name on you're resume, PTO per year is generous. I kick ass at vlookups now.

Cons

The internal tools dont work well and the process' to get stuff done are long winded and broken. We spend more time fixing errors and wading through BS because things dont work as advertised then actually doing the job itself. If you spend more time in the beginning doing it right, the whole process gets better, faster, leaner etc... My job could be done with one eye open if tools worked as they should and communication was better.

Pros

Cisco is a fun place to work and gives the right level of challenge to constantly keep me interested. Lots of smart people and most of whom get along well. Opportunities are vast if you are in a position with exposure and visibility. Broad product portfolio in many different technology areas.

Cons

Getting to big, lots of dead weight, could fire 5000 people and wouldnt skip a beat. Too many people making a career at Cisco out of making a career at Cisco. Too many products that overlap and internal competition between different product groups is very counter productive and does not benefit Cisco or the customer.
