Pros

Great place to start a career. Plenty of stuff to do and learn. Training classes and seminars are great for those interested.

Cons

IT work get tedious and boring. It's hard to move up, managers are going to stay in their position as long as they can. Sometimes there is too much politics.

Pros

Even though financial conditions are tough, people at Cisco seem to maintain a sunny outlook. It's not perfect, but there are many, many worse places to work. Compensation is not bad and the move to RSUs instead of options means that at least they are worth something.

Cons

Long hours, extensive travel....sales dominates (have a good quarter and you are a hero...even if you treat people like dirt). Can result in a macho culture
