Pros

Great opportunity for technical experience.

Great co-workers on my teams.

There are many small perks, such as a free exercise facility, on-campus dining, banking, etc.

Cons

Losing the 'Cisco culture' and becoming another Nortel, IBM, etc.

Touts teamwork while at the same time implementing 'stack-ranking' and bottom 5% reductions or force-outs.

Reacts with cutbacks and short-sighted decisions when stockholders sneeze.
