Pros

The initial compensation packages are generally good (though stock grants have been poor and you will have to leave the company to get a sizable pay raise).

Cons

It's a political nightmare mixed with a lot of DEI nonsense. Their glory years are behind them and all their major product lines are under attack by strong competitors. Some senior management is trying to change the company culture and fight back in the market by pushing Meraki to the front of the product line, but Meraki by itself is not an answer. The problems are deep and structural and they require knowledgeable, fearless leaders to make any progress. Unfortunately for Cisco, those are few and far between. I watched several good people try to make progress on substantial issues, all to have them generally fail. Most VPs have a relatively cushy job and are just milking the compensation package while Rome burns.
