@xs HYPE-shield for sure. Vaporware from G2.
@ek hahaha. Wonder how that interview worked out. Lol. No job here no job there. Suits em well
Name 1 manager, Sr Manager, Director, Sr Director, VP, SVP all the way upto SS who thankfully is no longer who is slightly good. Everyone is a glorified PM
Hypershield pushed back again... Three years since it was announced now? Lol
It blows my mind how could a low talent, obnoxious technical writer like Karen Kui was hired as a program manager and promoted to a PMO leader? Two low talent, low IQ VP's sponsored this low talent incompetent technical writer to be promoted. That is why SBG is a joke and will not survive.
SBG has the most incompetent low IQ charlatan management from SS down to the leaders level. Many talented engineers could not take it and left. SBG is a joke!
Austin office is just a collection of people working remote, been that way for years.
Calgary office is now in the same boat. It was once a "team", now they are just scattered to the winds, getting pulled into random parts of SBG.
Only one team is growing as a TEAM....Bangalore
@q3 That sums up ALL of Cisco.
Good SBG is useless
@qp sorry but Fortinet su-ks too.
Jeetu again gone to India, and those 2 new offices in Mumbai and Pune coming soon. I think all US SBG offices are in big danger. All new FTD dev work in India now. FMC is also fading out. Forinet and Zscaler offers great solutions nowadays
I'm hoping to get laid off so I can get the 160K buyout.
@q2 agreed. Everyone there just protecting their little fiefdoms while the entire org crumbles.
Sbg has been infested with some of the worst management for years. Just politics nothing else
No longer at Cisco but listen up and let me tell you folks somethin'.
Wow thanks for that mind-bo-b, and to think, we all thought G2 was a great leader...right up until you made this startling revelation!!
The worst is the dou--e nozzle ML we have leading sales! Clueless!
No longer at Cisco but listen up and let me tell you folks somethin'. Whilst that clown g2 "leads" technical strategy at Cisco, y'all fu---d. Shows what a total id--t CR is to appoint such a charlatan to so critical a role.
may your er-----n be as strong as these rumors for the rest of your life
we are cooked. First management is been let go. Followed by ICs in Feb
a SBG exec in the US was let go because he was interviewing at Google.. and Cisco found out somehow.
@a6 what did they say?
XDR and EDR were moved to Splunk Security.
I left last year but keep track out of morbid curiosity. Did Hypershield ever happen?
Did they axe Gillis and his overhyped underwhelming Hypershield fluff?
SBG is unfixable. This reorg creates motion but no progress. Just chair-shuffling.
Teams will be able to avoid real work for six months as their progress reports just highlight the difficulties in navigating their new org charts.
When the dust settles, SBG will be mostly a professional services org with a plurality of staff in Bangalore. I actually read one of the reorg emails for my part of the org...every new leader named was Indian.
People celebrate minor moves like turfing that mo--n SS. Whoopee, fixes nothing.
@bg what execs? RC? SS?
Yup. Massive reorg and looks like it impacted some execs. Q3 and Q4, brace for impact on some teams in SBG.
