Pros

High availability to good income and retirement savings. Lots of opportunity to succeed financially and academic and hands on skill set. Good training opportunities and very skilled peer group. Good place to work if you are a self starter and looking for opportunity to build your resume.

Cons

Top heavy upper management team. Lightweight technical teams. Inline management delivers poor guidance if any.

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.
