      Pros

      Good for anyone who lives networking, C, Java, and web applications. Pays well and benefits are ok. Work from home is especially good.

      Cons

      It is a software engineering job and can be very boring and tedious at times. Java is non-algorithmic coding and the only thing you learn is more Java. You don't really research any novel ideas and implement them, just maintain and update old products with new features. Features developed sometimes makes you think if anyone will use it, even internally. If you are not interested in software, this is not your heaven. Performance is based on how many customer found defects you resolve and quality of your code.

      Pros

      The perks are good but thats about it. There is a the all famed claim that "Cisco is a big company" but that is all that happens. From the day you join till end you hear the same dialogue again and again.Everything is an aquired project and no one has a clue about bringing it to ship shape quality. The cafeteria is even outsourced so to speak and it was the worst caterers ive ever seen in my life. The people raise complains all the time but its of no use. Occasionally theres a fire drill for which we need to run downstairs , thats one thing i learnt from there

      Cons

      sick management lack of vision no proper management or visionary views no guidance or mentoring in moulding new employees into anything
