Pros

* People: Great people to work with. By far the most amazing team I have worked with. By the way, I had left Cisco and, after 1 year, I came back because I loved working with my current group. The culture shift is refreshing. Be a part of it. * Products: Amazing range of products. And all of them are being inter-connected with one another leading to endless possibilities * Pace: Company is moving at light speed in developing/acquiring/integrating new technologies in networking and other areas. If you are in the right group, the pace is blinding (in a positive way)

Cons

* There are still some teams with very slow pace and not eager to change. But the culture is changing positively * No free food. We have free snacks though. But honestly, free-food is over-rated!

Pros

Flexible work environment. Can work from just about anywhere, but that also makes it easier for the bottom feeders to hide.

Cons

Nepotism reigns supreme. Rarely are actual work results rewarded - accolades go to power point jockeys who use all the buzzwords and manage up. Lots of lip service on people management, but rarely are excellent people leaders championed and promoted.
