      Pros

      * Great name recognition on your resume * Typically smart and competent coworkers * Wide market deployment for Cisco hardware, good exposure to customers * Stable company * Attention to good development practices like code review, unit test, etc. * Good benefits

      Cons

      * Big company means a lot of momentum, so change happens slowly * Support and maintenance for existing/legacy software can be frustrating * Some managers have no personal lives and expect you to behave similarly, often with the expectation of constant availability by email and working on weekends * Too much process slows down the pace of development

      Pros

      1) Empowerment, this is a company which does what it says it will do. It's pretty much up to you where and how far you take it.

      Cons

      Just like the Internet, we never really "shut off". Employees who want to work a regular 9 to 5 job need not apply.
