      Pros

      product, ecosystem, build personal network, brand gets you in to the right level. good engagement at the field level with with resources to solve customernissues, management are hit and miss.

      Cons

      company still thinks its 1999 and their stock is 500. mgmt have created a boys club and the only reason why they are able to keep their overpayed jobs is they can be trusted to keep the club going. chambers started the culture and it lives on. many managers rose through the channel ranks and have no customer skills

      Pros

      It's a given that you'll meet some very smart people at a company like Cisco. What surprises and delights you is meeting and then getting to work closely with the very funny ones who somehow slipped through HR vetting. They bring soul and character and fun to what could otherwise be the beige-est place on earth. They are the basis for all camaraderie at Cisco.

      Cons

      Unrealistic project schedules are alive and well at Cisco. So are fiefdoms and power grabs. So is a congenital inability to staff projects appropriately.

      If you don't want to be overworked and underpaid, stay away. Good place to start your career though.

      Pros

      Good place to start your career and to gain corporate experience. Benefits are slightly above average if you land the right position and the environment is extremely flexible when it comes to working hours.

      Cons

      It is an extremely political environment and individual contributors get their careers affected when they don't follow the game, sometimes without even realizing it. Executive leadership has developed this huge EGO that makes it practically impossible for the employee's feedback to be taken into consideration and make effective changes.
