Pros

Cisco has tremendous resources as a global company. Excellent work-life balance. Using collaboration tools, I am able to work from anywhere in the world to accomplish my role. I am also a member of Conexión, Cisco's Hispanic/Latino ERO. We help Cisco to hire and retain the best Latino talent, as well as helping the Latino community at Cisco and our own neighborhoods. I am challenged daily to grow and stretch myself. My manager and peers value my input.

Cons

Dealing with change in the corporate world is nothing new, and Cisco is no exception. Some tough decisions have to be made in order to compete. With leadership and role changes being very fluid, you need to be aware and know how to cope with this.

Advice to Management

Better tracking of past performance of employees. With constant changes to the competitive environment, then to internal organizations (and new leadership), it might be hard for employees to adapt and excel in an ever-changing environment.
