Pros

If you're ready to fill your head with as much technical knowledge as you can handle, Cisco is the place for you. The phrase "Drinking from a fire hose" is frequently used to describe your first months and even years, and it's accurate.

Cons

Innovation is lacking, and the markets see it. The company has had enormous growth, and with size comes some growing pains.

Advice to Management

Get serious about right-sizing the company. It may be the only way to sustain a long-term growth trajectory. And please get back to our roots of innovative products in areas that really matter to our core customers.
