Pros
Everyone is kind, gracious, and supportive of one another. This is an environment where I feel my coworkers want me to succeed and won't hold it against me if I fail. We're all just people working toward a common goal, and it's easier because we're authentic and like to have fun together along the way. Management is very interested in nurturing professional growth and helping employees to advance in the company. No matter where you start, there's room for upward mobility. Being acquired by Cisco means phenomenal benefits, solid compensation, and a generous PTO policy. 100% WFH is amazing.
Cons
It's early in our time with Cisco, so there are a lot of unknowns, but nothing scary. Things have slowed down somewhat while we figure out Cisco's policies and processes. Our software development processes could use some refining and better structure, but they're working on it.
