It can be fun on most occasions
It can be fun on most occasions
Some of the brightest engineers in the industry.
Office culture and traditions (in most cases).
Handsome benefits (other than salary).
Access to some pretty cool hardware/software, labs, expertise (CCNA anyone?).
Work-life balance (in most cases).
It's Cisco!
Below-average salary with no COL adjustments. Lack of innovation from within the company. Heavy process and too many barriers. Internal politics/favoritism.
If you only keep buying innovation, you'll always be a step behind the competition. Reignite that startup innovative mentality, which made Cisco great in the first place. Not everything in the tech sector can be measured with stock price.
