Nortel Networks Reviews in Calgary, AB Area

Pros

great opportunities for advancement at all levels

Cons

Sr. Management mismanaged funds - criminal behavior really unfortunate that it was a great company that became extinct

Advice to Senior Management

More whistleblower ability at the employee levels

Pros

The compensation has been reasonable. They used to be a great company to work for.

Cons

Poor management and leadership. During the difficult times, perhaps bellcurving all remaining empolyees was not the best way to keep the majority motivated. Managing reductions through the endless least iffective employee chop and rewarding only those seen to be most effective leaves the only reward for the biggest area under the curve as being "happy" to keep their job.

Advice to Senior Management

Being progressive is more than mandatory "own it" processes. It is about listening to what your employees are already saying, good managers should be able to listen to what their employees are not saying too.

Pros

Flexibility. Benefits are OK but have tailed off over the years.

Cons

Leadership is shaky. Decisions are made not in the best interests of the customers. There is no room for making changes. The rules are the rules are the rules are the rules even if they are not right or don't work.

Advice to Senior Management

Let the people that do the work be able to facilitate change. Treat your workers with respect and they will work harder for you.
