Good work and life balance. Generous benefits.

Cons

Extremely bad managers.

Impossible to tolerate directors.

Low-class, cheap-attitude managers.

Advice to Management

Cisco keeps losing some good talent with a lot of potential when so-called managers cheaply try to retain their followers. Stay in Cisco ONLY if the manager works for you. Otherwise, Cisco is the last place you want to look for work in this world.
