Cisco in transition

Anonymous employee

Pros

Cisco as a company is trying to redefine how businesses operate. They definitely want to try to change the world and are willing to take risks.

Cons

At the end of the day, Cisco is really fundamentally a hardware company. Most of the innovation is happening in software and Cisco while wanting to make the transition, continues to stumble. There is too much of a reliance on acquisitions to grow the company.
