Pros
If you want stability, good benefits, flexibility and management that is more likely to shuffle staff around than fire them, then this is the place.
Cons
There is probably no money for fair raises and promotions because you were stupid enough to join Cisco directly, rather than a start-up that got bought out, Too much critical software is farmed out to contract engineering firms with a questionable quality track record, you may end up constantly cleaning their mess, Products have long lifetimes so there is a lot of legacy code and "historical reasons" for poor designs, Project management is chaotic, Processes are paperwork heavy but still do not result in good documentation of software and designs,
