Generous WFH. 1-2 days a week is normal.
Management trusts you to get the work done, so there's no micromanaging (depending on which team/manager you have).
Opportunity to work on tough problems and work amongst the best in networking technology.
Work comes in cycles, so the work-life balance is great during "down" time.
Stagnant growth if you just do the work you're assigned. You have to do better than that if you want to move forward and be visible to upper management (very important).
Lack of innovation – competition has caught up, and Cisco's position as the market leader is declining.
Salary is average, not great.
