Pros

Cisco benefits are good. Food was free before cisco acquisition not now. Apart from imiconnect , you can join other team for technical and personal growth.

Cons

Imiconnect is the worst team. Managers or VP don’t have manners to talk. They use local language in all group meetings. If you want to learn politics then please join imiconnect otherwise you can join other team You have to work 12 hours everyday. Please talk to people working in imiconnect before joining imiconnect. Leaves are there but you won’t be able to take it because of high work pressure. VP doesn’t have technical knowledge so please don’t try to make him understand the issue.

Cisco (like many other companies today) conforms to the zeitgeist

Pros

* Competitive compensation * Great benefits * Diverse work-force throughout company * Flexible work hours (on many teams)

Cons

* Inconsistencies with rewards and changes to compensation * Company diversity may not be as evident on smaller (scale) teams * HR exists more for the company PR and less so for the individual (unless you can create a social-media frenzy) * Company spends a LOT of time on feel-good sensitivity initiatives for employees. So much so that it does not seem genuine but rather was developed to muster good PR and conform with the zeitgeist - make delicate flowers more comfortable.

Pros

- Good pay - Good benefits - Very socially conscious and progressive on important issues - People are very friendly

Cons

- Leadership is a mess and has no idea what is happening in the field and what reality is - We build products that we think the market needs vs what they are actually asking for. So many old egos that will not let bad products fade away - Just working through all the internal challenges within Cisco to sell is harder than even selling to the customer - We pay executives tons of money, but cut all the quality out of TAC so it is not good anymore - We over promise and under deliver all the time. Ask customers to spend like they are buying a Lexus, but they are buying junker - Way too many people who want their voices and opinions heard and so good ideas turn into terrible execution - We hire the same people over and over again that are in the same industry or have friends here, instead of finding great talent that can be taught the technology
