I like the idea of promoting from within, if there are qualified candidates. Our company (at times) has taken this to the extreme. Putting people in technical positions and hoping they learn the job instead of hiring someone with experience and/or education in that area. On the other hand, for jobs which there some to be qualified internal candidates they haven't promoted from within and looked for experience.
BassAckwards to say the least. Probably explains why we cut 50 jobs last month.
I should clarify - Cisco's current line has plenty of strength in the enterprise and in my opinion they should because (in my experience) they have superior products.
This doesn't really mean Cisco will have strength in THEIR networking products. It just means they instantly have a new market to sell to. Users like candy and pretty colors and Linksys caters to that market well.
