Pros

Cisco pays better than most places and the benefits are great. Lots of opportunities to telecommute and have a flexible schedule.

Cons

It's very hard to find out who handles the different areas of expertise when you need help. After our company was acquired by Cisco most of us felt that we didn't matter in the grand scheme of things. A lot of employees have had numerous changes in their direct management in short time frames and when review time comes around your boss doesn't even know you or what you do.
