Pros

Benefits and salary are very good.

There is flexibility in hours and a range of products.

Organizations vary considerably as to work environment.

Best president a company could have--extraordinary and inspiring leader.

Cons

No growth opportunities either laterally or providing growth experience after a certain point.

Cisco likes to keep qualified people doing exactly the same thing, so strong performers get bored and demotivated after so many years.

Reorgs are only executed at the top level, resulting in people, often managers, doing the same thing or confusion about responsibilities.

Advice to Management

Provide opportunity for growth and training.
