Long-term struggle against competition, good for a short-term position of 5 years or less - Anonymous employee ADTRAN Employee Review

Most decisions are made primarily by a few dozen people, and primarily by 2-3 Executives. For example the CEO has to approve an employee laptop replacement. There is very limited room for advancement over a long term. Compensation is not equal to the marketplace. There is too much emphasis on meeting quarterly numbers for Wall Street, and not enough emphasis on nurturing the team for long-term success. Input that is not in line with Executive Management is not welcome. Diversity norms are not being met here.
