      Pros

      Really feels like we are helping and supporting how people change the way they work, live, play and learn.

      Cons

      Getting to be a big company and decision-making has slowed to ensure broad cross-functional participation in decisions and investments.

      Pros

      Hardworking, accessible experts all over the company! Beyond the IETF leadership, patents, and certifications, I can probably count on one hand the number of times a subject matter expert has declined an opportunity to discuss their field of expertise, especially with a customer. Individual contributors are the soul of this company, and many work after hours and on weekends to get the job done. Some may call them perfectionists and some may call them crazy, but the level of excellence I've seen from many coworkers is truly exceptional.

      Cons

      Management has gotten complacent and collaboration needs to improve among product lines.

      Pros

      Cisco has great compensation. I second what others say about how in Cisco, there are always opportunities for you to prove yourself. There is always enough work for you if you want to try new projects and and work harder, in order to get your name out and move move upwards. Another major plus is the lower management. They tend to hire people from within the current ranks, and therefore they hire people who have gone through the motions and know what its like to be a lower level employee. Compensation is also good, including bonuses and monetary rewards. yeah.

      Cons

      One thing that always makes me annoyed by cisco is the cubicles that are pale-puke green and sick-of-my-life grey. This seems to also be the theme with the exterior of the buildings. Also lining the walls of the interior of the buildings are really old pictures to -i guess- spice things up visually, but they are faded out now so are kind of depressing to look at. sometimes I find myself just not wanting to be inside those buildings, so work from home. Honestly, all they have to do is every once in a blue moon add a new picture to the wall, and it would make a world of difference. I saw the other day they were painting one of the walls orange. That made a HUGE difference in that area.
