It's always a good idea to enquire if your company will help you with your career certifications/education. Whether the company will help you out in this manner is a different story, especially with the devaluation of the CCIE. I work for a company that has 16 CCIE's and they don't care one way or another if they get one more, as they're not a great asset as they once were. My company will pay for all expenses for my CCIE, but the Cisco channel manager today told me that no one cares about CCIE's anymore, especially with the point structure Cisco has now for partnership.
In the end it just depends on the company, where they are going, what kind of financial situation they are in, etc,. but it never hurts to ask. -- RFC 1149 Compliant.
