Pros

Interesting work and many very bright colleagues. If you are in the right organization, the fast-paced leading edge work can be very energizing. Many opportunities to learn and keep skills and knowledge current.

Cons

The culture has shifted tremendously over the last 5 or 6 years and politics is rampant. There is a systematic effort to get rid of older employees despite their qualifications. Although there are some very good managers, there is an equal number of poor managers. Too many shoot from the hip decisions being made.

Pros

Fat margins and weak competition in core (but declining) routing/switching businesses mean you can milk the cow without working too hard.

Cons

Every year, Cisco hires thousands of younger (and offshore) workers and fires thousands of mid-career professionals.
