Pros

NSN was a good place to learn about all things Layer 2 with an amazing size of things, the QA alone was almost 100 people. I met some amazing people there and made some amazing friends as well, it will always one of those places I will look back with good review even if I resented the way it ended.

Cons

a little less politics would have made it even better. but it's very very small if you compare it to say cisco.

Pros

Decent starting salary, good benefits, generous PTO

Cons

1% raises forever. Last promotion I got to Principal had no raise but a bump in bonus percentage. Now they are giving kids 8-12% raises and they have less than 5 yrs. Once you hit about 5 yrs you will get the 1% a yr and be pigeon holed into a specific job. Then good luck trying to change.
