Nortel Networks – “Nortel as an employer”

Pros

At one time it was a leading company with great products and technology. Well known for R&D and innovation. Global company with $1B or more in good days.

Cons

Poor management, leadership and loss of focus in a competitive landscape

Advice to Senior Management

Get some leaders who can manage the financial aspect as well as product. Need an evanglist like John Chambers of Cisco leading this type of company.
