Pros

All areas of networking are covered: Enterprise, Service Provider, and Data Center. All industries are included: Medical, Banking, Education, Government, etc. You can therefore find an intersection between your networking interests and its applications.

Most products are Linux-based and adapted to fit networking purposes with hardware assistance to deliver the most demanding needs.

Cons

The company has a very large existing codebase, so depending on where you land, it will be more bleeding-edge or more core business (more sustaining).

Advice to Management

We need to reduce the time spent on sustaining by increasing automation and consolidating the code base.
