Pros

Work in certain Business Units is interesting. You could get to work on cutting-edge technology.

Available resources are vast. Benefits are above average.

Cons

Built-in bureaucracy cropped up in the last few years. Interesting engineering work is limited and being outsourced. Growth is primarily through acquisitions.

Advice to Management

Invest some of the gains from outside the US, instead of hiding behind the 35% corporate tax. Cisco has a ton of money which could be effectively used if a product line can be identified.
