Pros
  • Encourages your initiative to learn and external education opportunities.
  • Typically a relaxed work environment where your workload is self-determined.
  • Has access to large code bases from which you can learn a wide variety of software techniques.
  • A relatively stable company.
Cons

Can be a conservative and procedural-strict company.

You need to be in one of the smaller and more advanced-tech groups to enjoy many of the pros.

More sales and hardware oriented, software groups don't seem as valued in terms of funding and attention.

Advice to Management
  • Encourage a more driven and exciting work environment.
  • Focus more on college hires and their growth within Cisco.
