Alcatel-Lucent Employee Review

I worked at Alcatel-Lucent

Pros – + Alcatel-Lucent's new business strategy is working in their favour. The new CEO is great
+ Supportive colleagues and supervisors
+ Lots of available resources, and training opportunities
+ Relaxed, at your own pace, work environment
+ Standard amenities, onsite gym, Tim Hortons, Quiznos...Subway and Burger King just on the other side of the road
+ Good pay for an intern, but a bit restrictive. Not as hearty as RIM or IBM
+ Ottawa is a great place to live, bus service is AMAZING!
+ Montreal is only 2 hours away

Cons – - Not sure how good career growth is in the company...easy for one to slack off and stagnate in the same position for years
- The free coffee on the office floors, frankly speaking is...$H!*
- And they don't even provide conical paper cups for drinking water even though they have water dispensers on each floor. Say it's for their "green" campus program
- Depending on the type of person, Ottawa might become boring very quickly as it isn't too big

Advice to Senior Management – Not enough experience to give any advice.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
