Pros

Good pay, with some nice benefits, like a good remote access policy, free drinks, good cafeteria.

Cons

Cisco acquires all their companies. This creates "silos" where each company is still closely nit and not interacting with the rest of Cisco. This is commonplace, even among acquisitions that took play over a decade ago. It's hard, as an outsider to these groups, to get information out of them. Management needs to force their hands. Cooperation is not what it should be, even among people in the same department. Many employees have a view that if you can't do your work, it makes them look better.
