Did benefits improve or get worse?

How would you like to be remembered at Cisco?

This is all on this leadership
Cisco will survive as long as they can keep the Private equity firms away from them. That’s the whole reason for propping up the share price, paying dividends, trying to get the cash moving, otherwise they’re rich pickings for a leveraged buy out... — read more
