Pros

It's a very pretty campus, easy commute from Durham, little traffic, can park next to building, friendly people, great food, its catered and many menu options change daily.

Cons

As an internship, I expected the ability to nurture and grow my career and education. Instead I'm stuck in a box, doing stuff a monkey could do. I have three managers, one is a day to day manager, the other is his supervisor, and the third is my manager/mentor in California. None of them realy give me the time of day. My day to day manager is a super nice guy and I have no problems with him whatesoever. I'm just so discouraged that the opportunities here are so limited. As a contractor, I have no benefits, I can't use 95% of the features that regular Cisco employees can. There is very limited career development here, and what there is, I can't touch, not a regular employee (and what there is is just productivity training and the like, not technical training that I actually need).

Pros

Cisco is a top company in the field, adapt new changes well, have a lot of opportunity of growing if you're willing to, and have diverse culture.

Cons

The people were good but the cubicles let me feel Cisco less-frendly working environment.
