Pros

Cutting-edge technology if you are in the core router/switching business.

Very stable company.

Flexible working hours.

Remote working is encouraged.

Cons

No growth for contractors.

Stock options not very good.

A lot of bureaucracy and politics.

Huge silos in every technology. Wasteful.

Advice to Management

Remove the silos as much as possible. Remove the huge hierarchy; flatten it out. Give better benefits: free food, single office space, etc.
