Pros

Cisco, the old brand name, adds some value to the job profile.

You learn new technologies by chance of any new acquisitions, since most new technologies and good-selling products are acquired by Cisco.

You learn how to make things more complex.

You have fun around compromising your work experience.

Cons

Ridiculous management that has a philosophy of working to add an entry in a performance review and not for necessity.

All happens in the name of process, and no wonder if it doesn't happen at all :-D

You can think about promotions in dreams, and opportunities in words.

Full politics and no recognition for deserving candidates.

Almost worst outsourced services like HR, workplace resources, etc., for employees.

All happens in the name of process, and no wonder if it doesn't happen at all :-D

To say it simply, you can be recognized as a fool if you stay long.

If more than that, if you wish to take a chance, then it's your fate!

Advice to Management

Changing the way you think! Changing the way you fool employees and customers. Changing the way you manage! And not changing others for you.
