Pros

Good work-life balance. I think it's the best place for women.

Smart employees and a decent learning experience.

Good training sponsored by the company.

Easy to move within the company.

Looks good on a resume.

Good job security (yes, even after recent heavy layoffs, it's one of the safest companies).

Still the best network company in the world.

Cons
  • Very hard to move vertically.
  • Little bit slow moving company due to its size.
  • Average compensation.
  • Has no gym or any ping pong table in any building.
Advice to Management

Please acquire companies wisely. Last time, a few employees suffered due to improper acquisitions.
