      Pros

      Great benefits. Most positions and managers have a balanced work ethic. Great technology, though not implemented well, too splintered.

      Cons

      Non-test positions and managers have a better grip on reality. Many ex-cisco test employees and managers, who brought along their 'drag-me-down' mentality that ruined Cisco's work environment. Training is not so great, always behind the curve. Upper management is not involved in the trenches, thus they are mis-lead. HR does NOT want to hear what you really have to say!
