      Pros

      Cisco is a good large company to work for. Heavy in the mid-mgmt.

      Cons

      You can end up in bad groups, where managers are poor and dont treat you fairly. Promotions and salary increases are hard to come by

      Greatness: It's within our grasp but we're not there yet.

      Senior marketing manager

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      As far as giant mega- multi-national corporations go, Cisco is the most benign. On good days, I actually believe that Cisco is doing things to make the world a better place. Even on bad days, I don't think we're doing anything to make it worse (not on purpose anyway). Cisco is a company that you can feel proud to work for.

      Cons

      The same can probably be said for most companies, but direct line management can be extremely weak. There are inconsistencies (in marketing anyway) in the ways that people are treated, whether it's moving up, down, or out of the career ladder. HR has been incompetent for years, but it is actually getting better with management change in the last year or so. Then there is the issue of some senior management personnel who demonstrate outright disregard for the company in the sole interest of furthering their careers. Again, I'm sure it happens everywhere, but it's more disappointing at Cisco where the CEO and most employees have such high standards and expectations.
