Cons

Women,

Please research your manager before you join any team. See how women have been treated, who left, when, and were they given challenging projects or promotions. These things are very important.

At Cisco, your manager is everything. Be careful, or you might just be heading for a dead end in your career.

If you claim to be the 'Best Employer in Town,' you don't want ex-employees giving this feedback.
