Pros

Great Products and a few great Engineers

Cons

Supply Chain leadership all the way down are out of touch. Rowdy's and Gangsters are taking control over processes. They cost the company at least 5 margin points and the leaders either ignore or be in this corrupt circle. Oh! There is corruption. The life-term of red badges along can confirm that there is wide spread corruption. Big corrupt fishes are caught every once a while. Search for the names and any one could find them. Worst place to get skills neutralized and become of part of retirement community

Pros

Great learning environment. Ability to move laterally within the business. Good pay and benefits. Great portfolio of products/services. Excellent example of a company converting from pure product mentality to a service-driven culture.

Cons

Engineering teams are driven by fear and intimidation. Leadership quality varies greatly by organization. Very few opportunities for vertical growth. Too frequent RIFs and layoffs during transition.

Pros

Seemingly large company, lots of products

Cons

Since it's an exceedingly large company, (up to 8 layers of management from bottom to CEO), there's no true care for employees. - Lots of HR propaganda about give-and-take, pretending to care about homelessness, mental healths, etc. but when it comes down to it, they will fire you and not blink an eye. hypocrites! - internal job site is a joke - unless you want to take a huge pay cut and move to San Jose - lots of internal politics, brown-nosing - VPs not even responding to emails - no employee loyalty Cisco will be eaten by more agile competitors - either US-based or elsewhere.
