ANZ?
Cisco is not going to make a transition to software based subscription revenues. It’s going to stay a box vendor.
It’s not a phenomenon limited to ANZ, or AWS. For example, I was in a meeting with MSFT a few weeks back, virtually that entire MSFT team is ex-CSCO. Similarly, a lot of former colleagues are now at Google.

As Bob Marley sang a song once;
Open your eyes and look within,
Are you satisfied with the life you're living?

We're leaving Cisco, y'all!
ANZ folks, you must be kidding. Living on privileged life without any competition. Let's see how long you can last with AWS

The strategy has been to replace well paid and experienced sales people with early in career or associates.
Truly amazing genius !
It’s not just sales people but also quite a few biz ops, services, engineers and delivery people that have left Cisco for AWS.
Any professional in ANZ tech industry knows to avoid Cisco ANZ like the plague. The decade of cuts and disfunction has caught up with this mob.
There are many more preferred companies to work for in the market.
