Pros

I started working for Cisco thinking that this is the company that I wanted to retire with. It had the name and the market share to prove. The reputation of treating employees fairly and rewarding them based on performance was also high on my list.

Cons

During the bad times, the true Cisco came to light. Bad Managers were promoted. Wrong decisions were taken and good people either were let go or simply resigned, like myself.

Pros

able to work remotely - telecommuting even in different countries, ability to change job within company, stable company even in bad economy - large product portfolio

Cons

lower salary than competitors, culture differs for each BU - some BUs provide boring work, do just process, some are very fast moving (can burn you out)

Pros

Great benefits, good food, ability to telecommute

Cons

Cisco is a behemoth. I found it to be a very impersonal, cold environment where a majority of the employees seemed to have drank the Cisco "kool-aid."
