Pros

It's a great environment to work in. Everyone I worked with was great. I'd love to work there again. You get hands on experience with amazing gear.

Cons

Try to get all your Cisco certs before you get hired on full time. There are not a lot of downsides to working at Cisco.

Pros

There is very open communication between employees on projects, and vast learning resources are available. Employees are very focused on providing solutions for customer issues.

Cons

The firm is becoming bureaucratic management wise. It takes a long time to make decisions on major product directions. After many acquisitions, the organization is top-heavy, which leaves little room for internal promotion into the higher management ranks.
