      Pros

      As long as it's in networking if you get bored in one area you can move to almost any other area.

      Cons

      It can be slow to change, in certain areas that are changing quickly.

      Cisco is a good place to work but be prepared to stay in your role for a while.

      Pros

      Great People to work with who are very knowledgable about technology, business processes and back office systems. Cisco is supportive of it's employees learning new things, and in some instances will even pay a portion of the fees associated in obtaining an advanced degree. Cisco provides more flexibility in working from home or in the office than any other company I know of.

      Cons

      Promotions are few and opportunities for advancement are limited. Compensation doesn't keep pace with promotions, I know of people promoted to director who received fairly limited pay increases. Additionally I recently hired someone and was apalled by the level of compensation they receive compared to peers.

      Pros

      Recognized leader in most markets they compete. All the resources you need to get your job done are available.

      Cons

      Never a clear separation between work and live. Individual contributor promotions seem to come at set intervals based more on years in grade, than based on contribution.
