Pros
Before Alcatel-Lucent: CULTURE - some of the best, smartest people with an incredible drive and sales focus. Work hard, play hard. People measured on revenue/profitability, quality, contribution.
Cons
After Alcatel-Lucent: Grey corporate culture. More Process. Employee frustration. Great company culture and focus being rapidly lost in the haze of Big-French corporate advancement and back-stabbing. People measured on number of reports, management-level (difference in pay grade actually cited in some meetings). Could not have fallen farther or faster.
