Cisco

Great place to work, a forgiving and positive environment. There's a lack of politics, at least at the engineering level. Big opportunities exist along many product lines. It's a worldly recognized company with famous products, offering lots of ways to grow and interact with people. It's an excellent place to acquire hands-on experience.

Many project aspects have a lack of responsibilities. No one wants to take responsibility, leading to loose standards, a lack of quality checks, and peer review.

Might need to toughen up a little bit on freewheelers, assign responsibilities to individuals, consistent with the goal during the project.
