Great Ethics, Software Tug-of-war
Great Ethics, Software Tug-of-war
Cisco benefits and business ethics are great. They are technology leaders and have a lot of interesting work to do. They treat employees well and with respect.
Doing software in a hardware company always has the big question: Is the software there to sell the hardware, or is the software a product in itself?
This can lead to a tiring tug of war on this topic and recurring reorganizations.
Recognize and account for software as both marketing collateral and product.
Make the hardware side pay retail for the software investment, not just to hire a head.
