Restructuring is done based on groups rather than individuals. Manager should be appointed on people skills and technical knowledge.

Pros

Since Cisco is in a technical leadership position, it is possible to work on bleeding edge technology. It is exciting to be the first company to deliver a given technology.

Cons

Cisco has a lot of product overlap. As a consequence there is always a risk (and fear!) that your product will be cancelled. Communications from business unit leadership is often vague.

Pros

Telecommuting, lots of interesting products, exposure to global teams, nice campus.

Cons

Lack of career growth. Too much focus on presentations, matrices, and talking during meetings instead of real results. Slow to adopt industry trends (XML). Abysmal tools. Writing useless ePMs.
