Pros
leader in networking area flexible working hours and relaxing (sometimes layback) working environments starting salary is reasonable for new graduate Feel like home environment for foreign workers (70% of engineers are Asian. Many executives (directory, VP) are Asian (mainly Indian). A lot of talents in networking area. A great place for Assurance engineers or managers (QA) because the pay is the same as other developer or managers, no discrimination like other companies.
Cons
The pay raise is crawling slow. Need to fight with others most of the them. A lot of overlapping products among different departments Layoff is an annual ritual Constantly outsource jobs to other countries like India, China, Russia. Not enough talents in new technology. Buy company instead of building, most of the work is integration, not much learning (waste of time) unless you work for the acquired companies. Lack of internal documents on design, implementation due to job security for engineers and managers.
