Ciena takes care of employees by giving them good benefits which 20-30% of companies are giving these days
Health Care APPS
Medical Insurance
GYM Subscription
FREE lunch
Transportation Charges
Lots of learning in my team
Dislikes
Ciena and almost other companies are also not transparent in terms of PAY, your position-to-pay ratio is not always justified.
You may be getting a far less salary than your peers in the same position which is not very good.
In a broader perspective, your HIKE / APPRAISALS are always a fixed number that is decided by Team's budget also Companies performance is accountable.
No outing, no parties no gifts....Read More
