Great work environment
Great work environment
Good benefits. Great work/life balance. Cubicles (I hate open offices). Smart perks (good PTO, onsite gym, no jungle gyms or teddy bears).
Not very conducive to innovation or out-of-the-box thinking. Features and development paths are generally set by marketing or sales needs.
Nothing in particular. The place is well-managed, and things on my cons list are generally difficult in large corporations with as many tentacles as Cisco.
