Pros

working out of Asia for a North american company is a challenge. Ciena management rises up to the challenge and let us run with the ball. i am always impressed with the support i get from top management.

Cons

From a sales perspective, the matrix organization is a pain to work with. However with determination and patience, we get through the BS and get things done.

Pros

I like the environment, not only locally in Argentina but also what I knew from other sites. I´m excited to work in a leader networking company, selling innovative solutions.

Cons

Sometime the processes are very time consuming. The resources in the internal sites are not so friendly for new employees.
