\nA huge reorganization of Cisco's routing and switching engineering business has been going on, affecting up to 25,000 employees. This involves some massive changes for the unit, which generated $21.7 billion in revenue, or 60% of the company's total 2013 revenue.
\n
\nThe engineering teams are being switched up under engineering chief Pankaj Patel. They are moving from individual teams focused on individual products to two big overarching teams with one group focused on software, the other on hardware.
\n
\nWe understand that top managers with the title of \"general manager\" will be going away, but the people under them, with the title \"vice president\" and \"senior vice president\" are not being particularly targeted. So, Cisco isn't totally slicing out middle management.
\n
\nStill, sources tell us a lot of senior people have dusted off their resumes and are looking around. It's a particularly good time for network and infrastructure startups, so Cisco folks are in demand.
\n
\nBack at the company, the object of the reorganization is to get rid of all the little product \"fiefdoms\" that have cropped up under the product\/general manager system at Cisco over the years. By putting everyone into two big groups, Cisco hopes people will work together and share more, making the whole company more nimble.
\n
\nThe reorganization came from the recommendations of two separate consultants, according to a source.
\n
\nBut in the short term, multiple sources have said that there's a lot of confusion and frustration, particularly around budgets as each manager tries to figure out what funds remain and what are taken away. \"This is to be expected with a major reorganization,\" said one source.
\n
\nCisco hasn't publicly discussed the reorganization much. Though it did say that it would be doing another round of layoffs in August. As we previously reported, this was the fourth year in a row that Cisco ended its fiscal year by telling employees to watch for pink slips. Those cuts, though, are expected to be company wide, not just from the switching\/routing engineering unit.
\n
\nCisco executives said that they would also be hiring employees in some units. When the dust settles, Cisco expects its workforce to be 8% slimmer, or 6,000 fewer people.\n\n<\/body>","next_sibling":[{"msid":44703613,"title":"Microsoft hosting cloud-focused event on October 20","entity_type":"ARTICLE","link":"\/news\/industry\/microsoft-hosting-cloud-focused-event-on-october-20\/44703613","category_name":null,"category_name_seo":"industry"}],"related_content":[],"msid":44703084,"entity_type":"ARTICLE","title":"Cisco reorganization to affect 25,000 employees: Sources","synopsis":"A huge reorganization of Cisco's routing and switching engineering business \u2014 which generated 60% of the company's total 2013 revenue \u2014 has been going on, affecting up to 25,000 employees.","titleseo":"industry\/cisco-reorganization-to-affect-25000-employees-sources","status":"ACTIVE","authors":[],"Alttitle":{"minfo":""},"artag":"Business Insider","artdate":"2014-10-08 14:06:33","lastupd":"2014-10-08 14:13:24","breadcrumbTags":["industry","Harry Potter","Cisco"],"secinfo":{"seolocation":"industry\/cisco-reorganization-to-affect-25000-employees-sources"}}" data-authors="[" "]" data-category-name="Industry" data-category_id="18" data-date="2014-10-08" data-index="article_1">
简历是飞出思科像许多猫头鹰的哈利波特电影,根据来源。
思科路由和交换的一个巨大的重组工程业务已经影响到25000名员工。这涉及到一些单位的巨大变化,产生217亿美元的收入,或者该公司2013年总收入的60%。
工程团队正在切换下工程首席Pankaj帕特尔。他们正从个人团队专注于单个产品两大的团队与一群专注于软件,硬件。
我们明白,高层管理者的标题“总经理”将会消失,但在它们的人,标题“副总统”和“高级副总裁”不是特别的目标。所以,思科不完全切片中层管理。
不过,来源告诉我们很多高级人简历掸尘,环顾四周。这是一个特别好的创业网络和基础设施,所以思科人的需求。
回到公司,重组的目的是摆脱所有的产品“领域”,出现在产品/总经理思科系统。把每个人都分为两大组,思科希望人们会一起工作,分享更多,使整个公司更灵活。
重组来自两个独立顾问的建议,根据来源。
但是在短期内,多个消息人士说,有很多的困惑和沮丧,尤其是在预算每个经理试图找出基金仍然是什么带走。“这是可以预料到的重大重组,”一位消息人士说。
思科还没有公开讨论重组。虽然它确实说8月份将进行新一轮的裁员。正如我们此前报道,这是连续第四年,思科财年结束,告诉员工解雇通知书。这些削减,公司预计将宽,不仅从开关/路由工程单位。
思科高管表示,他们也会在一些单位招聘员工。当尘埃落定,思科预计其劳动力8%的苗条,或减少6000人。
