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

Pros

Individual Contributors are great at helping others, and teaching others. The ability to self-manage your workload and contribute to something awesome is/was great. It's gotten a bit more challenging to do this with the acquisition, but the capability is still there. The events and people were always fun The CEO & CTO really care about the well being of the individuals, and it shows. Product is incredibly awesome, and really fun to work with. Tech stack is somewhat modern (there are some minor backend improvements that need to be made - and some have already been made). Post-acquisition 401K Matching is good. Made a lot of good memories and friendships that I hope to keep/continue post-job. I enjoyed my time here, and learned a substantial amount while working with everyone. I am incredibly grateful for that opportunity. From starting small to growing to the size that they are now (pre/during acquisition). I know I had an impact (whether for better or worse) and would love to work with some of these individuals again.

Cons

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".
