Pros

well established world leader in networks and telecom Opportunities for hardware interfacing (BLM and Smart Edge) Above average pay, benefits and events Good mentors and very competent team leads

Cons

I worked as a contractor and I often found a deliberate seclusion of information from contract employees. The opportunities to convert to full time are rare as the company believes in training new grads to fit into certain roles. New features are widely spaced and the time in between can get boring... running sanity tests, solving customer issues etc. etc.
