Pros
Very collaborative environment where people work across functions to get the job done. I have been at Cisco a year and been very impressed with the caliber of employees and their thinking. I came to learn how other companies work, and have learned a lot about Cisco approach to business stargey form john Chambers himself at town hall meetings. I have been very impressed with the level of involvement John has with employees of this big company -- he is one of the premier business strategists on the planet, and yet is very approachable.
Cons
Some vestiges of big company bureaucracy, but that's changing. John Chambers has emphaiszed collaboration and has accelerated this through a series of online initiatives.
