      Pros

      Cisco has the money to provide engineers with equipment to do their work. So if you're an engineer and loves to be an engineer and you're lucky to be in the few business units that still value your work, then good for you.

      Cons

      Too many Cisco Business Units (BU) waste their times in useless talks leading nowhere. My friends at Cisco in other BU report the same thing. Cisco is no longer what it used to be. These BUs are simply rotten with politics. Managers and directors falsify their work results to please their VPs. All they care for is to be "visible" to VPs and upper-management. Care for great product quality is the least of their priority. Of course customers are not happy. Product quality has degraded a lot.

      Thank you for your response. As part of our People Deal we are working hard to have transparent conversations so that people can openly communicate with their coworkers and managers about these types of issues.
