Pros

Free to use WebEx products. Cisco's salary and benefit are competitive.

Cons

Totally no work life balance. Management expects you to work in the evening to synch with China developers. Sometimes I have to work until 11pm. But still need to go to office before 9:30am. Lack of directions. WFH is not encouraged. Multiple groups in the company and compete with each other with products targeting the same market. Lack of experience in Product Marketing. Have no idea what customers want. Only management favorites get rewarded.
