Pros

Good place to start your career, recent graduates can be involved in the latest technologies(LTE, 4G, GPON) and advance quickly. Dress is casual and working life reasonably flexible with hours and some balance towards personal business/needs. Benefits and compensation appear to be average.

Cons

Middle management is mainly business folk with sometimes little understanding of the work being performed by the technical people below and are using accounting software to manage a technical field - this produces many additional tasks to update statistics to monitor your work level, reducing the overall efficiency. The office environment is very cramped(70 sq ft per 2 people/desks) and can be loud due to calls on speaker.

Pros

-Technological superior to most other companies with use of AI and promising future tech/programs -benefits and pay are very competetive -room for professional growth and advancement if you know how to work in a corporate environment -resume development and professional advancement

Cons

-leadership ideology doesnt match the company/CEOs mission statement or belief (company is said to be all for safety yet leaders get put in charge and quickly dismantle and lay off 3 quarters of the safety department) -Leadership changes structure to benefit themselves by having all support functions report to them instead of the CEO, this ensures all support functions take a back seat to production and financial gain to include their employees well being -Company restructured and reorganizes very often while showing no loyalty to the employees who work hard and want to stay, this leads to turn over of great employees.
