The work culture fosters a culture of trust and ownership to the individual contributors. Freedom to express new ideas and work on them. Also motivates employees to focus on career and growth. The company has tried to be more transparent in terms of compensation in the last year and immense support to the employees during pandemic through different allowances. The company also provides a wellbeing allowance to motivate employees to focus on their health first. And the Gurgaon employees can avail a free day care in high quality preschools like Klay fully sponsored by Ciena which is one of the most lucrative perks....Read More

The working environment including Work Life Balance is good at Ciena. Compare to the IT services company the appraisal is good but there is not much scope of onsite opportunities. There is full accountability given for particular work and tasks and that is like open culture.
Not much onsite opportunities. Salary should be a bit high comparing to market standard.

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

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
