Pros

Company culture here is really good to engineers. When I look around, most faces look happy. People are generally very helpful, and give real answers to my questions, rather than brushing me off with 'read the documentation'. Annual bonuses are based strictly on a peer review process; this is really cool because you are rewarded not for sucking up to your manager, but rather by demonstrating your merits to your co-workers. Compensation is fair. And it doesn't hurt that the company as a whole is kicking butt, so stock prices are growing rapidly right now.

Cons

Headquarters is in the middle of nowhere in Santa Clara, so commute from downtown is pretty bad. If you don't mind living in the burbs, this might not be a problem for you. And of course, network switching isn't exactly the sexiest industry to work in; my non-technical friends and family will never ever understand what I do for a living.

Great Products Great Engineering- Lousy Performance Review Method

Engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

Great products and strong growth. Good to be on a winning team. Compensation is more than fair if you include stock grants

Cons

The performance review method is bad. They depend on your fellow employees voting on how good an individual is. It becomes a popularity contest. In addition management doesn't tell you where you rank.
