Pros

Very well organized and very professional way of working with an external hire and onboarding. Manager and HR were very good with communicating periodically and keeping employee well informed.

Cons

Can't think of any....only minor thing was that the work laptop arrived later than expected but delay was on fedex side due to weather conditions, so none in reality!

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.
