Top executives leaving in droves. What is going on?

Asic engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice campus, gym and a good cafe. Seems very laid back. Competitive salaries.

Cons

Three VPs from Ops quit. Two VPs from Engg. quit. Long time Distinguished Engineer quit. Sr. Dr. Product Mgmt. quit. SE's leaving/moving out. Many and many engineers are leaving/quit. Rumors are that VDX (Ethernet Fabric) product line is canned or going to be canned after the last box release. There is no road-map for MLX after the recent security upgrade. Federal business has been a joke.
