Acquire and Destroy

Pros

Compensation is higher than normal for Greater Atlanta Area IT sector. If you're in the right group, you can be shielded from most of the upper level management shenanigans, politics and bad business decisions. If you're not in the right group - all bets are off.

Cons

Cisco has a habit of acquiring companies and then destroying them. This is certainly the case with their acquisition of Scientific Atlanta, all traces of which will certainly cease to exist within the next two years. Upper level management is a revolving door and there is a high level of chaos as folks scramble to maintain employment - often working on projects that have very little chance of succeeding.
