Cisco Systems – “Good, as long as you enjoy being one of 70,000

Cisco Systems Systems Engineer in San Jose, CA:   (Current Employee)

Pros

Cisco is pretty much what you'd expect of a company with 70,000 employees. High levels of management overhead, and if you're towards the bottom of the tree (as most people are) then to a large extent you just become one of the numbers.

Benefits are good, pay is reasonable but not great.

Cons

Again - just what you'd expect of a 70k person company.

Advice to Senior Management

None

Flip is a joke of an acquisition strategy that Cisco is currently executing (a la $590 down the gutter for a camcorder that will be extinct thanks to the Apple iPhone 3GS and soon to arrive 4G/LTE versions).

Your comments are pretty much what I expect from a Cisco employee. Boring, unimaginative, and not helpful.
