Cisco

No pros. Half-empty office, but we had one meeting room. If there were meetings, we moved to another meeting room or sat in the hallway until the end of the meeting.

Low rates. I was impressed by the name and agreed to $15 lower than market rate to participate in the R&D team. It was terrible.

I passed four rounds of interviews and drove 1700 miles to move.

There was a team that consisted mostly of interns. Holy crap, it was nothing about R&D; they had an urgent delivery of a project done mostly by interns. There was already one consultant babysitting kids, and I had to do the same.

In four days, they terminated the contract, right before Christmas holidays.

Be aware of scams. The Cisco brand name is nothing for ones who worked for them.
