      Pros

      Latest technologies and always expanding Generally smart people Travel opportunities outside the US Will stay in business while many other companies may not be there in future

      Cons

      Very little promotional opportunity unless you are well connected and part of the clicks Very long hours Compensation being managed down for many years - aims to be in the middle of the industry Stock never moves - no more options given No job security - if you have a bad acct or bad BU you are cut irrespective of years in the company and performance

      Merit-based pay increases (despite what other reviews say, this does happen very often) Good overall compensation Great health care benefits philosophy Cutting-edge of the industry Rewards for exceptional performance Flexible work options

      Cons

      Not much opportunity for short or medium-term career growth A lot of VIP executives (Vesting in Peace) Too easy to hide and not do much work Too many corporate "priorities"

      Pros

      Flexibility Great benefits - very generous Many smart people

      Cons

      Cisco is it's own worst enemy ... it is a caring environment that takes feelings way too far. People are quite gossipy and can be down right cruel in the rumors they spread. Buyer beware - Cisco will do "backdoor" reference checks on you!! Be prepared to work extremely hard with little career growth ... career movement is extremely limited. It's not the norm to be allowed to move across functions or departments.
