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

Pros

I have a lot of latitude in how to do my job--I don't have to use processes or tools that aren't optimal because that is policy. Cisco is also really supportive of parents; I never get flak about working at home or leaving early to care for my son.

Cons

It's so big that nothing happens quickly. Also, you can go years without a raise.

Advice to Senior Management

Cost-cutting is great, but make sure employees feel valued rather than nickel and dimed to death.

by 5%:

Every place had to declare 5% of its members of being incompetent. Thousands of people have been falsely accused. How many people lost their jobs, were sent to labor camps and died miserable deaths.
