Pros

Great people with a clear mission and supportive environment. It's a great place to start a career and grow. The physical space (offices and surrounding grounds) are spectacular.

Cons

Adtran had a record setting run of profitability of 20+ years. However, management has not made the best choices in recent years but things seem to be looking up again. That said, Adtran's mission places them in markets that could be subject to intense international competition and price pressure from foreign governments. No one will grow your career at Adtran. You will have to do that yourself.

Pros

Supportive environment, leadership accessible and open to conversation, driven to adopt new technology, strong standing in the telco segment

Cons

Permissions and red tape prevent easily performing all required job duties and force reaching out to multiple others for quick and easy fixes. Lots of technology and good to adopt new technology, but it needs to all be integrated better instead of separate programs that can't speak to each other.
