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

Pros

able to work remotely - telecommuting even in different countries, ability to change job within company, stable company even in bad economy - large product portfolio

Cons

lower salary than competitors, culture differs for each BU - some BUs provide boring work, do just process, some are very fast moving (can burn you out)

Advice to Senior Management

this is an advice to middle management of one particular BU - communicate better with your engineers, let them at least voice an opinion on product implementation

Having no competitors doesn’t generally breed a culture of excellence. Cisco is pretty good at making crappy products.
