Pros

Great Place to work, lots of options with regard to products, teams, locations. Great benefits too.

Cons

Sometimes too big for it's own good. Lots of overlapping products competing with each other. Looking to revamp itself as a subscription based software company ( understandable), but at the at the expense of massive layoffs of people that have dedicated their careers to Cisco and have survived many such transitions in the past. This often seems to target folks they think make too much money, are not in a growing line line of business, etc. We all get the need to right-size periodically, but there are less drastic means to do so.
