Pros

Have joined Ciena during pandemic and I must say the process was very smooth and consistent. The induction meetings were short and to the point. The team and management were very helpful. I must say they a quite a good wellness program for pandemic in place. Kudos.

Cons

Nothing to say as of now.

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.
