      Pros

      Good salary Great people Woking with a well-known and hghly respected organzation Working witrh an orgranzation that is global

      Cons

      Very political, it's not if you do a good job, it's how others think that you are doing. Getting ahead isn't really about doing the job but by doing pet projects that aren't related to you job but show that you think "outside of the box" and take initative.. Almost impossible to get a promotion, easiest way is to be in direct sales. As long as your team is making quota (on the direct sales side) they give them out like candy. But if you are in any tupe of support role they are very hard to come by. I was with the company 5+ years and never promoted even though got good ratings. If you have a team of ten or fifteen you better be ranked #1 or #2 in your group to get the promotion, which is hard to do b/c there's always a superstar.

      Good, as long as you enjoy being one of 70,000

      Pros

      Cisco is pretty much what you'd expect of a company with 70,000 employees. High levels of management overhead, and if you're towards the bottom of the tree (as most people are) then to a large extent you just become one of the numbers. Benefits are good, pay is reasonable but not great.

      Cons

      Again - just what you'd expect of a 70k person company.
