      Cisco rocks

      Pros

      You are working with talented and driven peers in a highly collaborative environment. The management team is very supportive of employee training and development, allowing employees to learn and grow with the company. Cisco has a culture of employee empowerment, giving employees the freedom to make important decisions.

      Cons

      Long hours and job strain can take toll on personal life. Need to find better work-life balance for employees. Though the company expects its employees to perform in the industry's top 10% but its compensation plans for the systems engineers is only above average.

      Reorgs can't mask bad management forever.

      CEO approval

      Pros

      The attitude of "customer success" is very prevalent within the company, so if you run up against a roadblock, using that magic phrase opens many doors.

      Cons

      In Customer Advocacy, there were no real opportunities for advancement unless you were willing to relocate to San Jose. Benefit costs increased substantially every year, but there were no raises to be had. Reorganization happened every 6 months, so I never had the same boss for one full review cycle. Management was constantly trying to justify the existence of our group by adding supplemental job tasks to the job description, but failing to recognize and evangelize the inherent value of our core deliverables.
