Treats employees like disposible objects

Solutions architect

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Virtual set-up is excellent (you pay for your ISP access and cell phone). Training is widely available in your chosen discipline. Excellent for remote workers, but watch your "6" all the time.

Cons

When it come to reorgs, layoffs do not offer employees rehoming opportunities. You have to apply to listed positions. During a layoff period, people applying are viewed differently. Cisco relies HEAVILY on contractors (contracts are 90 days w/extensions) and H-1Bs.
