      Good Internship

      Pros

      I worked there as an intern, and thought it was a great place to spend an internship. Cisco has a really laid back, west coast culture, especially the IT group. My manager always listened to our concerns and was understanding about time off and working from home. Overall, a good experience.

      Cons

      Larger Organization means it's harder to maneuver within the group. I've not experienced this yet, but thats what i've heard. Also, the HR is super disorganized. There was no proper on-boarding process, and i felt like i just fell into my cubicle one day.

      Much to do as a designer at Cisco

      Pros

      Large company, many products, lots of opportunities and innovation. You could easily spend a lifetime at Cisco and never run out of challenges.

      Cons

      Product teams have a lot of leeway and don't necessarily hire designers. This can lead to an uncoordinated mass of multiple design directions, many driven by non-designers, throughout the company. More strength should be given to central design teams, and more teams should hire designers.
