Pros

Lots of Autonomy; Hands off yet highly supportive managers; I get to run my team as an entrepeneuer; interesting, critical, varied work; surrounded by really smart people; great benefits, including dental and 401k matching - the best I've seen; Management transparency, frequent communications, dynamic leaders; reasonable perks; excellent training and development programs; stellar sales team

Cons

salaries do not track the industry or cost of living; some VPs are incompetent; things are starting to move too slowly with new bureaucracy; tools and systems may be somewhat cumbersome

Pros

tele commute opportunities. stable company opportunities for job rotation.

Cons

no career growth highly political. top management very comfortable with pathetic growth. risk averse compensation sucks for most employees unless you are above grade 12. They request employees to be frugal but senior management spends millions and doesn't walk the talk. 360 degree feedback is done to show they care but no action is taken based on the feedback. They like to believe they are share holder friendly but share holders have been getting such a bad deal investing in Cisco in a decade.
