Pros: Great offices and infrastructure - the cafeteria, club house, gym, and sports facilities are excellent.
Transport facility is very good. Cisco Campus is truly wonderful to work in.
Flexible work hours and still friendly to work from home (though this has decreased over the years).
Lot of learning programs and trainings.
Freshers may like the in-house box office, massage chairs, and video games arcade.
Cons: Snail pace of career progression. Learnings are minimal unless you take it upon yourself to look into new areas and sign up for programs.
Not much opportunity to travel. Frequent re-orgs.
In the last 3-4 years, there have been no hikes, low or deferred bonuses, and no RSUs. Slow to embrace change.
