Lots of spare time; you can pretty much do your own business. Good gym. Free dinner (at least my BU has free dinner), free snacks, and fruit. Cisco daycare is the best in the Bay Area (but expensive too).
Slow promotion, miniature RSU, lack of innovation, politics, low pay compared to Google, Facebook, Apple, and Amazon for the same position. Internal IT support sucks. No training, no room to learn.
Reduce non-useful teams. For example, whenever I go to Building 14, there are lots of people not working.
