Pros

I get to work on a large project where hard work is respected and occasionally rewarded.

Code reviews are taken seriously, and smart solutions are noticed.

I love the unpredictability of work assignments that comes with working on a new product with agile development, but to be fair, it drives others nutty.

Cons

It is not just enough to be an amazing developer; you must also have the trust of your peers, who may be spread across multiple sites and teams. If you have an uncompromising approach to software development, you may have trouble at Cisco.

Advice to Management

Cisco salaries are lagging other top-tier employers in the Austin area.
