Pros

I'm still new in Ciena, but I can already realize I have made the right choice to join this team. Mainly positive points that I notice in Ciena until now are: - First, the selection process that I participated was very well conducted by HR, with a lot of professionalism - Account management to which I work develops an excellent job, with a lot of focuns on the customer and at the same time with a lot of attention about the welfare of the team members. It is an inspiring coordination - Team to which I belong is very united, diligent and treat each other with a lot of respect and friendship.

Pros

Great people who work well together across company silos. Good pay, especially with stock performing well.

Cons

Extremely low attrition (~2% annually) leaves a workforce that is very experienced at Ciena. Unfortunately, this means high resistance to change and low awareness of industry best practices. Low attrition also leads to minimal opportunities for job growth.
