Don't expect any job security

Pros

Salaries, bonuses and healthcare benefits are good. Wide range of products with a strong brand name.

Cons

Don’t have any allusions that Cisco cares about you. There are lay-offs every quarter and with constant re-organizations, you could easily be one of them. Very political and bureaucratic. If you have come in via an acquisition, the HR, Finance and IT staff are the first to be laid off, followed by Marketing staff.

Pros

Used to be the tech corporate business development group in the industry

Cons

Sorry state of affairs. Current head only interested in promoting his old team. Global team are second class citizens here. One of the VP has a high attrition rate.
