Pros

Cisco has a great company culture and is run by very capable executives who truly care about the well-being of their employees

Cons

Because of the slow growth due to company size and current economy, there is very limited opportunity for upward mobility which forces employees to look elsewhere. Cisco also needs to address obvious inequities in terms of grade levels and span of control. Human resources seems reluctant and slow in addressing these problems
