Pros

Ability to work remotely a plus.

Cons

"Good Old Boy's Club" Very limited advancement opportunities. Retaliation for voicing honest opinions or concerns. People management extremely poor to non-existent. Years with no merit or bonus. 401K match should be higher.

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.
