Pros

Lots of t-shirts and backpacks...

Cons

Some people decide, all the little guys have to execute the last decision in emergency. The priority will change next week anyway. The processes and the code quality is atrocious but an army of submissive engineers will manually push the right buttons to keep the boat floating. It's a company built around manager progress, so they need as much reports as possible, hence the need to have the worst processes to ensure the need of manual labor. Cisco might discover the scam at some point. I don't know a single person happy or not in fear of top management, the turnover is quite high, the harassment permanent. It's a stain on a resume.

Pros

Great workplace, great people, great location, interesting projects.

Cons

No one told me what specific tools to use and how to get access to them for the project. Very slow and complex access control. Project management is chaotic and they don't have a clear idea of what they want to do. Leadership is basically a ghost. Followed up for full-time roles and have been ghosted for no reason.
