Pros

Excellent salary package, great work culture, great technology, flexible timings. I don't have much idea about the stock options, but the stock is pretty flat now, so don't know whether people are buying it. Technology is great. My managers are all technically competent and have decent people skills if not great. Very receptive to my problems and make sure I get to my solution.

Cons

Don't know how great would be the chances to get promoted in my career. Just a newbie here, and from what I have heard, it takes an average of 3-4 years to get promoted and get a pay-raise. Some of the business units are not doing that great, but atleast my BU is.

Pros

Very stable company that is poised for the long haul. Cisco is at the forefront of many foundational technologies that will enable the next age of computing and communication.

Cons

Very corporate. Easy to get lost in the shuffle and as with all big companies, the tendency then becomes for the worker bees to jockey for position amongst each other. There is a perception (which is many parts reality) that the folks who move their way in to manage are not necessarily the most qualified. Polticking often gets in the way of execution here.
