Ciena is a great place to work, explore and make connections and overall grow in the IT industry. For the past year or so I've been part of Ciena, the best part I've felt is that its a company a person can settle and give years especially later in their career. The culture is very employee centric and there are many verticals to work and contribute. They are very flexible wit the timings and the managers and colleagues are very supportive. I am working as a remote employee and their remote program is one of the very best in the industry. Also there is very less micro-management in the company which is refreshing as people contribute and work on their hours they are comfortable with.
