Pros

good food in the onsite cafe

Cons

This is a high-tech slave shop, it's only about the management since they are the ones who get the big bonus and stocks. They care less about anyone else but themselves.

Pros

1. Remote work is the norm 2. Even contractors are empowered to make big decisions

Cons

1. Unannounced layoffs are the new normal at Cisco ... literally every month there are big layoffs 2. a large number of jobs at Cisco are going off-shore so be prepared to repeatedly prove that your skills cannot be outsourced without a serious loss to the product/team/bottom line 3. highly political organization & lots of disinformation ... assume you really do NOTknow what is going on even if you are being given information 4. contractors are treated very poorly, even if they provide a big value add to the organization 5. Cisco is in crisis ... there are re-orgs with alarmingly high frequency; this is to be expected with the massive changes brought in by Chuck.
