      Top heavy management without clear direction and limited resources set up for failure

      Pros

      Name recognition on resume. If you can get approved for work at home from a manager it's a nice perk.

      Cons

      THEY CLOSE FOR TWO WEEKS AROUND CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEARS - employees must use vacation time to get paid and contractors don't get paid at all - Apply for unemployment in CA and it can get approved. They plan to cut $1,000,000,000 in 2011/2012 and 10,000 people. They bought and dumped companies. John Chambers should GO - NOW!!! He's driven the company down the tubes too long. Look at their stock price from 2010 to now. What a loss for every employee. Moral is really hurt. They allow incompetant managers to remain. A lot of good talent has already jumped ship and more to follow. Overworked with a very poor onboarding process. Departments don't have common process and a lot of confussion between teams. WebEx is like another company altogether although they are part of Cisco. Products are falling behind. Manufactureing is week with a lot of product delays.
