The perks are nice but if you do not get a good manager or team is it the worst place to be.
Dislikes
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

Employer’s Response
Thanks for taking the time to write a review - it's great to read your comments. If you want to continue this conversation and help us find even more ways to do better, please send an email to cienafeedback@ciena.com.
The local team is very cooperative and technically capable. They have very good rapport with their client (PLDT).
Dislikes
The PD is residing outside the Phil and does not understand fully the client's requirements and does not listen to local team's advice. The regional PD should consider the local PM advice and he should only give guidance and direction.

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.
Dislikes
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
