      Cisco - too large, too slow and trying hard to change from a box seller to a software company

      Pros

      It's a job, good health benefits

      Cons

      Bureaucracy, management that speaks out of both sides of their mouth. Here are the rules, but they don't follow them. Website that is impossible to navigate. No live people to talk to when you have issues. "open a help ticket" Compensation is weak. So tired of hearing that there is no money for raises and getting stock that is underwater instead. Technology is wonderful, but people make it all happen. Reward them!

      Cisco has become another large company and suffers from "large company-itis".

      Pros

      Cisco is a stable, very large company. Has a very good sales & channel organization; decent benefits. Talented resources if engaged properly.

      Cons

      Large company with too much political baggage. Employees & organizations that are not based in San Jose suffer from a compensation perspective, respect and career growth. The overall compensation of the company has suffered over the past 8-10 years as well. It appears to me that Cisco does not value it's experienced employees; hires too much from the outside in key positions without allowing experienced employees a shot at the promotional opportunity. "You're better off to quit, gain a more impressive title from a smaller company and then reapply to Cisco". Your chances of getting promoted are better using that tactic then trying to justify it internally.
