Pros

Innovative company in the networking industry.

Continuous learning opportunity for both technical and leadership skills.

Excellent culture of giving back to the community.

All employees are allowed to spend up to 5 days (paid time off) to give back to the community as volunteers.

Cisco is the industry leader in multiple areas: Routing, Switching, Server, and Data Center.

Very stable company.

Lots of learning opportunities, as the company encourages job function rotation within the company.

Great benefits, including 4 weeks of paid PTO that can be used for vacation or sick leave.

Cons

The company is big, and sometimes it takes a long time to make a decision. It's a process-oriented company, and that can be rigid sometimes. Sometimes that can be good. Sometimes it can be a downside. Other than that, Cisco is a great company to work and learn.
