- If you are working in the right division on the right job, you are good.
- Good benefits such as vacation time and insurance. If you have a good manager, you will also have good work-life balance.

- Your growth is directly proportional to the number of people you know inside Cisco.
- Most managers are very technical and resolve your technical issues if you are stuck, but that stops there; people skills are negligible to zero with most.

Take care of the employees. Train manager candidates well before promoting them.
