      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It totally depends on which area , you are working. Lot of innovation, fun in Emerging market groups, where as too much of politics and sluggishness and lack of innovation in the basic router groups

      Cons

      Too much politics. No work life balance. Senior management and middle management are not competitive enough, and lack passion for innovation

      Solid, Steady Place to Work But Be Prepared to be One Guppy Among Many in a Large Lake

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      * Senior management genuinely treats employees like family * Tremendous commitment to giving back to the community * Solid financial foundation and management with plenty of resources to invest * Great telecommuniting and flexible schedule policy * Strong culture of candid and open communications from management

      Cons

      * Increasingly bureaucratic * Too San Jose-centric... All policies, meetings, and processes are catered to San Jose * Jobs becoming increasingly more narrowly defined with little room for learning and growth into adjacent areas * Promotions and movement are still largely dependent on whom you know
