Pros: Super internal documentation and pretty awesome senior management. People seem to be doing the right things. Seems like a politics-free place.
Cons: The switching market is crowded, hence long-term growth prospects can be dicey. I'm not sure how the company will deal with whitebox switch makers, etc.
