What are the major groups left in boxboro?
I used to work in the isolated building on the other side of i495 but did visit friends in the main campus .. looked like ample land was in reserve for 10 more buildings
The sjc mafia made sure bxb would not come up as a major site - the people and culture were certainly in place but for politics by sjc mafia
CX Mafia, good one
all that is left is security bu sustaining - not for very long
CCBU management has already trained their BLR managers to do their shoddy jobs. Now what else work is left with them ? Better to close them.
MITG used to occupy an entire floor in BXB. Now there are only a few people remaining. Nearly all the jobs have been moved to India.
Looks like hw oriented groups in csco are all hard up and dying except enterprise sector where customers still willing to accept a complete nose to tail solution and service from oem
Big telcos and cloud titans are all busy undercutting the oems with open src sw, internal dev efforts, whitebox servers switches and routers even

Above we have a dense 100g x36 router using latest brcm jericho2 silicon and a wide choice of network OS ! Look ma no xr :(
In a decade csco may have a large enterprise business like hpe, lenovo, ibm, dell and a large patchwork of pure sw companies acquired over time
I guess chambers vision of csco transformation from network co to IT co is finally coming true :)
Any SP oriented group is going to get slaughtered in phases . With select few platforms invested abd rest sent to die in bangalore as usual
One group of MITG sits here. But this group will have resizing in Feb 2019 by 30%. CR wants investment outside Telecom.
TAC is gone , CCBU is gone, they still have SBU and MiG, but down to 3 building and counting
bxb is a dead campus. even security is just a sustaining group for legacy products. zero new product work here
Trump estates will manage the BXB Cisco office as a C-sino Royale
I expected bxb will be closed in 2 years, and then they will sell the land to the real estate developer
cx mafia sits in rtp and they killed bxb.
You will find a few human form of crafty-foxes and venomous-snakes there. But be aware, have a plan B of escape before you visit there.
