Pros

Very mature company that has solid leadership at the top. They take care of their top performers and provide a great benefits package

Cons

Can be very cutthroat, especially of late. Company has no problem parting ways if it suits them.

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.
