Pros

Cisco is a old tech company with, leading the networking space, but a great market recognition. The Cisco partner community will do the sales job and Account Executives just control the forecast, create internal reporting and have regular lunch with customers. Cisco provides great social benefits and excellent compensations schemes. Also is a great company for remote working and family care

Cons

This is one of the most arrogant companies in the market, with partners, customers and employees. They discriminate partners based in personal interest, specially the Operations Directors. Customers feels Cisco should be replaced but the can´t have the risk. In Public Sector, they don´t give the same discount to each partner, breaking public law. Employees don´t get promoted. What can you expect in Spain with the same senior management in the last 10 years? Employees get fired based on political reasons and favours, not meritocratic actions.
