Pros

Cutting-edge new technologies, great people, and lots of flexibility that allow you to balance your life with work, especially if you have children. Great opportunities for learning and keeping your education up-to-date. The dream company to work for.

Cons

The greatest challenge is to be prepared to get laid off at any time, regardless of being a top performer, greatest innovator, or young talent. However, Cisco takes good care of those who are let go, helping them find a new job.

Advice to Management

Politics are eating up the company. Many taken decisions by the management negatively affect the company's business.

Re-think the company policy to stop cutting people blindly, as it causes loss of talent.

Talent is not always something people are born with; talent is knowledge that people gain while working for the company, as well.
