Infrastructure, Facilities are Awesome
The managers are more like bosses. They have traditional egos and can do whatever they like with your profile and make you stuck in your career.

Employee can choose between hybrid and remote work culture Seniors are helpful Manager understand the issues faced by employee and take corrective measures Free food.
Benefits policies are there just on paper, its really hard to get those in real Working on little old technologies which other competitors have already implemented many years back Bonus and hike are almost same between an average and good working employee

Work culture is very decent, work life balance is good, compensation is good in market, avoiding processes which are disliked generally like daily timesheet, too much approvals, etc.
There is hardly anything to dislike in Ciena but if I have to add then international traveling option is less.

company policies like insurance , holidays etc are excellent. companies also provide excellent job security.
Work. There is very minimal scope of learning or experimentation. Top down culture you are being told what is needed to done rather giving you an opportunity to explore what is needed to done.

It is like a Govt Company with good work life balance and Job security. They provide good food, Gym and pickup and drop from Home.
Technical stack is too old and company has a lobby of old people who stayed in the company for last 10-15 Years. It is impossible to convince them for any new good idea. They only wants to hire and promote people of certain caste and region, using abusive language is common in work culture. Most of the work is anyway done from Canada office and India office work like a service company for Canada employee....Read More

The perks are nice but if you do not get a good manager or team is it the worst place to be.
No support from manager They want people to start performing asap. If someone is changing their role , there is no proper shadowing or guidance. It is that you are on your own
