Combination of very engineering-driven product development and strong consultative sales teams
Opportunity to work with really smart people and see the impact of your work. There are always new projects and work on new approaches. Cisco may not always be first, but they are never shy about admitting they need to accelerate efforts to catch up. For a large company, they are quite nimble.
