Pros

Empowerment, Responsibility, and both encouragement and opportunity to grow skills and knowledge. I've worked for several high-tech companies and this one is the best run of any I've ever worked at.

Cons

Management on average isn't as technical as other companies I've worked with, which probably limits the complexity of the projects we've ended-up tackling in the past. The company understands this and is actively working to address the issue. I'm hopeful that the changes our BU is undergoing will address this in the not to distant future.

Pros

This is a very stable company and a good future ahead being the leader in most of the products in market from Cisco.

Cons

The growth in career and growth in development of self can be slow. Not much atmosphere for innovative thinking, though it is appreciated by the management.

Pros

Great professional training, benefits and cafeteria

Cons

Sweat shop for software people, they are eagerly replacing skilled workers for cheaper workers from countries where obedience is the norm. Company politics drive the management not what is needed or is right.
