Pros

Cisco is a good company to work with. Its stock may not go up as much as it did in the past, but hey, how many companies are out there whose stock is going up. Think 'bout it!

Cons

Too much politics. Sometimes. But hey, how many companies are out there that don't have politics. It is only the degree to which it exits.

Demanding environment Lots of talk about work-life balance, but when push comes to shove, the pressure is on to get the work done Decisions made by product management sometimes questionable

Very little promotional opportunity unless you are well connected and part of the clicks Very long hours Compensation being managed down for many years - aims to be in the middle of the industry Stock never moves - no more options given No job security - if you have a bad acct or bad BU you are cut irrespective of years in the company and performance
