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.
Large company with very distributed decision making that is hard to make stick. To make a big impact, there are a lot of internal politics to work through and deal with. The company in general wants to do the right thing but frequently trips over its own feet.
Get out of the way of your employees and empower them to do their jobs instead of micromanaging the processes.
