Cisco is buying another cloud company for cash and assumed equity. The valuation is bit lower than expected but still makes lot of employees very wealthy. Anybody from Viptela here, who like to share how employees may have benefited.

    I still don't understand why Cisco does it all the time. This is really bad for existing employees. People coming through acquisitions are showered with millions and people staying there get peanuts. I don't think this will go for long. We will soon be running out of cash. Sometime back we paid 2x valuation to appdynamics. It hardly made sense.
