Pros

Ciena has a competitive salary and benefits program, interesting work, and great people! The culture at Ciena is by far the best I've ever experienced in a corporate environment. They treat their people with respect and I've built lasting friendships.

Cons

Very fast paced environment due to the industry and technology--which is actually "pro" in my book. It keeps every day from becoming monotonous. It can make for a difficult first year of learning curve, but your peers and leadership understand this and are always willing to help support.
