Viavi Solutions "Office Politics" Reviews

Likes

Top class technology usage and upcoming plan.

Dislikes

Zero job security. They can do hire and fire anytime even within 2 weeks. Too much internal and zonal politics. Also Viavi has acquired multiple small and medium scale industries since last 2-3 years. Those small scale industries are now totally part of viavi directly but the internal m anagement of those indsutries are still same. An outsider interviewee will not be able to understand actually for which department and business unit he/she is going to attend interview because except HR and offcial processed (which will be displayed as Viavi only) nothing is changed for technical/work perspective for those small scale indsustries. Interviewee will not even be able to detect what was the old name and work culture of those small scale industries/business unit until the day he/she joins. After joining he/she will be trapped because each of those small scale industries are worst in work culture and the total management power is getting misused by the ex-owners of those business units. They don't bother anything about the employee future and using the micro management power they will do hire and fire within even 1-2 weeks short duration also. During fire they will never accept any of their own faults and as usual will try to dump all blame to the employee only by force. Also internal politics is too high and toxic work atmosphere between most of the co-workers. Be very careful before joining this organization....Read More

Few things are flexible like working hours. No restriction on internet.

Dislikes

Career wise not much progress can be made. Many are old technologies. Resistance of using new technology. Bad Politics. Very less transparency. Cost cautions for petty things but not for big things.

Viavi is a constantly evolving company which makes it the best place to work as you can work on many challenging things. As long as you deliver there is always scope for you to grow in the company. The salaries paid are top notch and you would get a lot of money via project bonuses, variable pays etc. Business Exposure is great, Work hours are flexible and most of the time the teams listen to your idea and support you in all possible ways. But all these comes at a cost, they expect you to be available any time they want. Be it a late night or a weekend, when they need you, you have to be there no matter what your situation is....Read More

Dislikes

1) Terrible work life balance 2) Lately I see regionalism which is not there earlier. 3) Though team members are super cool, from management you can witness a lot of politics, especially between managers and IT Directors.
