Pros

From a company perspective, Cisco is a great company to work for. Cisco tries to take care of its employees, even during staff reductions.

Each organization is different; some are run really well, while others are run poorly. Get on a good one, and you will love Cisco. Get on a bad one, and you can't wait to find something else.

Cons

Prone to frequent layoffs. No consistency between projects.

Advice to Management

There is too much internal competition for the same market. When you start losing top contributors to other opportunities, it's time to look at why that may be happening. Sometimes that requires analysis from someone not on the project.
