Business Outlook

Pros

Some prestigious clients and a few talented employees remain.

Cons

All of the creative people have left and the company culture has gone down the tubes. Cisco has crushed everything that made this place great and what remains is a company poorly equipped to execute its increasingly ambiguous mission. If you thought working for a dinosaur like Cisco was bad, imagine working for Cisco's redheaded stepchild.
