Pay was not "competitive"ly great prior to acquisition, pay will get much more difficult post-acquisition due to being under a larger company Health benefits prior to acquisition were awesome (free healthcare), post-acquisition - have to pay ~$25 - for health care options Lack of transparency from upper management (direct management all the way up to executive team). Actions are greater than words, follow through on your actions, don't just mention or say something, but commit to it. Personally, I was firmly not able to get a transfer into the team that I wanted to work on, after asking for three years. Lack of proper management support, especially in the IT Department, for 5 years, was a bummer. Huge bummer. While I enjoyed my time here, I faced hurdle after hurdle in situations (to the point that I was having to champion myself more and more - and wasn't being supported by a management leader for improvements that were needed) and when leaving it felt like I was more or less just shuffled out the door versus working with me to set up a transition plan that would work for the business and the company to be successful worked out. I didn't have much (if any) communication with upper management rather than just providing ways to improve to them about significant issues that have happened. Beyond that, the discussion that I had when leaving was "Yeah we are hearing that a lot".

- Some of the managers: It depends on the team. You can be lucky and work with some of the best managers you have ever worked with, our you can end up in a team with managers that (seriously) need to do better. Some of them have the experience to be managers, but not the soft skills needed for the role. If they get better at this, the employee experience would be way better. - Priorities: Priorities are some days clear and some days not. It's a fast-paced company, and there are a lot of things going on inside (Cisco's acquisition, new big customers, new features to release, customers-specific requirements...). Trying to keep all of this up is hard, and it has an impact when defining the priorities because things are constantly changing. This is a big problem in the work-life balance and it also demotivates people seeing how some of the projects they were committed to never end. - The "ish" in Transparency: Some of the biggest decisions made by the company were not shared as they should have had. The CEO addressed this problem later on and that was greatly appreciated. These cons are the main reason why this company is good but can be better. I would say the rating could be a 4/5, but the company is open to feedback and changes, and hopefully willing to deal with these problems.
