Pros

Excellent work/life balance. In over a decade of employment I worked overtime maybe six times. If you have a family, this is the reason to work there, assuming this is still the case. The work regularly presented exposure to new technologies, for the professional interest side of things.

Cons

The pay is very, very sub-par for the area. They rarely hire experienced people, and they rarely give substantial raises. Engineering structure is very flat with very few opportunities to move up in responsibilities and thus in pay grade. ADTRAN engineers can build anything, but the marketing and program management types could never decide on a focused, realistic course of action and wait to see it through.

Good job, not a good career

Pros

Good campus environment, fairly good benefits, and generally great co-workers.

Cons

All company functions are run by engineers. Culture is difficult to define. Change is difficult to promote. There has not been growth and with it new opportunities in a long time.
