Pros

Every function at the company is differentiated and adds real customer-facing value. It's so much easier to get things done when pretty much everyone else in the company is smart, focused and wants to get things done. We build products that customers genuinely love. They clearly make a difference, particularly during the pandemic. The Cisco acquisition has gone well, and the founders remain very engaged.

Cons

Some well-meaning initiatives such as introducing OKRs have not been picked up outside engineering and so have lost a lot of their potential value.

Pros

Potential to grow significantly within Cisco depending on what team you're on, plenty of professional growth opportunities, always fresh challenges to keep the work interesting and exciting

Cons

Hard to connect with the product and its impact, executive leadership tends to be stubborn which can lead to frustration or bottlenecks downstream, too many decisions are still made based on gut feelings rather than testing

Pros

+ Cisco acquisition has (so far) kept the original business and team structure entirely intact, with the goal of keeping ThousandEyes as an independent business unit + The product is deeply technical, and has a humongous moat from competition; especially now that we ship ThousandEyes software in Cisco switches and have access to Cisco's sales channel. This equates to fat bonuses! + The engineering team is full of smart, experienced people; there is a strong "no jerks" rule when hiring. + Most of our production services are deployed in Kubernetes + The company culture is supportive, progressive, and light-hearted (Mohit is always telling dad-jokes in all-hands meetings, veteran engineers get their own bobble-head figurines, every engineer picks a superhero to be their avatar) + The pay is top-notch: San Francisco-level salary + equity, but in Texas + Strong commitment to mental health & work-life balance

Cons

- The path to promotions has never been clearly defined, even less so now after the Cisco acquisition - Hiring and recruiting efforts have not been given enough resources since the Cisco acquisition - There is a lot of inertia within the broader engineering organization w.r.t. adopting newer tools
