Pros

Cisco pays well and is a very recognizable name in the tech sector that looks good on resumes. The San Jose area is also pretty rockin. Also lots of different areas of expertise to choose from; hardware, software, low level and high level programming opportunities are offered. Plus you get to choose your own team in the Cisco Choice program.

Cons

San Jose is a very expensive place to live and even though they pay well it seems like it is not enough sometimes. It is a big corporation, so it can be difficult to earn personal recognition or advance the ladder.
