Pros
No other company has a better work from home culture than Cisco - wonderful collaboration technology and complete acceptance from everyone. Amazing benefits all around. You are held to a high standard and rewarded fairly for it.
Cons
I wish there was a more meaningful "why" at Cisco. Technology is not all positive. Bridging the Impossible is a little to vague in purpose for me.

I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Cisco Systems (San Jose, CA) in March 2017.
Interview
First round consisted of very standard interview questions, and meeting, via WebEx, with two members of the Community Relations team.
I would like to high-light that I felt like the interviewers didn't take the process seriously (or just didn't take me seriously as a candidate)--and I say this, because one of the interviewers had her boyfriend laying in the background during the WebEx interview. It was a bit strange, uncomfortable and, personally, I think it high-lighted a lack of professionalism. Ultimately, I didn't get the job--but after the interview experience, I knew this wasn't a team I would be interested in joining.Interview Questions
