Pros

Work from home that is about it.

Cons

Politics politics politics and politics... lies lies and more lies.... no clear vision of where the company or the function is heading. Senior leaders only copy paste slide deck to slide deck and they don't actually get the business.

Pros

Good company with solid benefits and great ability to work at home or at the office. They strive for flexibility and provide the tools to make it happen.

Cons

Company is going through a lot of realignment and change and is choosing to accomplish this through consistent layoffs each August after the fiscal year closes. Instead of retraining they fire and bring in new younger blood. The lament that not enough people leave the company each year as their attrition rate is 3% and John Chambers would like to see it at 10%. They lose a lot of good people with this approach.

Pros

Still a good brand name. If you want to get into Silicon Valley one of the stepping stones. There is a history behind the company.

Cons

Innovation is dead. It is driven only by innovation. The middle management is incompetent and clueless. Turnover is extremely high. The salaries are mediocre. The company is a political minefield.
