When other companies do freezes and layoffs, ThousandEyes (TE) seems to be recruiting. I love the courage to chart their own path. For those in the know: would you consider a horizontal move from FAANG for roughly equivalent TC? What's the overall sentiment inside TE, or across Cisco, and how much does Cisco affect TE anyway? Would you let your BFF join TE today? YOE 15 TC available upon request (DM me, but I'll ghost you š)
Do you think people will DM you for thousandEyes TC? TC or buzz off
Had an interview with the founder before. He was arrogant and I got the vibe he would be asshole to work for. Dodged a bullet thank the lord.
I thought heās an ok Lad
Thatās just my personal experience. During the interview, he was interrupting my answers, asking outlandish/irrelevant questions. Overall showing a haughty, disrespectful attitude. Which Iām glad he did. Better to find out then than joining.
TE is still growing. I think thereās still lots of runway left. The innovation and integration has been great post acquisition.
TE is growing a lot. I donāt think itās full identity or potential has been reached yet. I think that Cisco will continue to invest because moving to software is the future for them. Worth joining if you are a self starter who wants plenty of room to shape the future of this organization and potentially shape the future of Cisco. If you are looking for something where youāre just in maintenance mode keeping the lights on, this is not for you. Thereās tech debt and growing pains from all the change. All that being said, having the Cisco acquisition definitely provides a comfort that your job wonāt be on the line and you donāt need to work crazy hours or anything like that
Donāt. I work for Cisco and interviewe as an architect. Itās a total shitshow.
