      My first real job

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I knew it wasn't the right place for me within three months, but I lasted three years. It's basically a typical big company with the advantages and drawbacks you'd expect.

      Cons

      The isn't really a clear path up the corporate ladder beyond director. Most of the management was somehow from another company. It's usually ranked as a good place to work, but I always felt like they went through the motions on the criteria and didn't actually care.

      Good, as long as you enjoy being one of 70,000

      Pros

      Cisco is pretty much what you'd expect of a company with 70,000 employees. High levels of management overhead, and if you're towards the bottom of the tree (as most people are) then to a large extent you just become one of the numbers. Benefits are good, pay is reasonable but not great.

      Cons

      Again - just what you'd expect of a 70k person company.
