Pros

Stability, big company, reputation, and great incentives to pass certification exams.

Cons

As in any big company, office politics are a big part of Cisco.

Mediocre single-line managers focusing only on their own benefits have fubarred the company.

Mediocre salaries. Cisco, by self-admission, targets to be in the 65th percentile in salaries.

Advice to Management

More attrition is needed. We need young engineers. We should pay top-performing engineers a better salary.
