Stressful but financially rewarding
Stressful but financially rewarding
Excellent pay (includes bonus), good benefits, flexible hours, and lots of different things going on in the company if you want to switch.
The company is the leader in the core of the internet, which is a huge plus as the world revolves ever more around the internet.
Cisco's upper management has grandiose hopes to lead the world in anything related to the internet, and frankly, we don't have the expertise in things like tablets, social networking, etc. That is stretching the company thin and putting undue pressure on developers.
Job security has not been good over the past decade, with layoffs every couple of years. Morale is currently very bad. The stock is trading at 1998 levels.
Focus on maintaining our leadership in our areas of strength, while expanding into related areas where that leadership can be leveraged. For example, like when we branched from IP switching and routing into VoIP, voice messaging, etc. Where was the synergy with Flip cameras?

I completed two phone interviews. They asked basic questions, and nothing was too difficult. The interview mostly focused on past experience. It seemed a little impersonal, almost as if they were reading from a script.
