    Nortel Networks Anonymous in Ottawa, ON (Canada):   (Current Employee)

    1 of 1 people found this helpful

    Pros

    Complete lack of accountability (if that is what you are looking for), Lack of vision & strategy allows you to pretty much do whatever you want - regardless of how it might impact the business (call it creative license), Out of touch with customers - so anyone can claim to know what the customer wants, You get to be around gifted people - whose gifts go completely to waste

    Cons

    Working on project after project that gets canned, No opportunities for promotion, the rare person who is promoted leaves you scratching your head as to what possible attributes account for said promotion, belief that great technology will lead to a great business

    Advice to Senior Management

    Collect members of janitorial staff, assign them your jobs.
