Cisco

Good pay and benefits.

Can be interesting work in the right department.

Top-level and bottom-level workers are good at what they do.

If you have good social skills and want to climb up the ladder, then there are good opportunities if your face fits.

Lower management is a joke and more like a boys' club. Priorities are themselves, then the project, then, if there is any time/energy left, their staff. They lack the knowledge on how to handle exceptional engineers/people, the ones who come with side effects, so good is the best they will get/keep. The top people at the bottom (i.e., the engineers doing the work) often do not have great social skills, and management can't handle them no matter how good they are at their job or for the project. You have to spend more time looking after your career than doing the job if you want to climb. It's not a place to survive at the bottom level for long. If you want to stay hands-on, then Cisco isn't for you, no matter how good you are.

Look at the lower management. Promote the morale of workers. Stop looking for faults in the staff and look for and exploit their good points.
