Worked at Cisco for 20+ years
The job is very stable at Cisco if you are an engineer or technical architect. You can survive many layoffs.
Cisco will give you a raise to match the inflation rate once every few years. If you ask and perform well, you may get a raise, but the increase will be slow unless you change jobs.
Value the experienced veterans more.
