Nortel Networks Reviews in Raleigh-Durham, NC Area
-
Pros
There used to be opportunities and the history of innovation and opportunities were exciting. The talent at Nortel is amazing. The pay is very good compared to other industries and markets.
Cons
The expectation of cutting 80,000 people, but only a tiny percentage of the actual work they did over the past 8 years has worn out the employees and rended sucess virtually impossible. Even when Nortel was at its best, the environment was fiefdoms and highly political, it was about who you know.
Advice to Senior Management
If leaders had actually focused on the company instead of their own personal agenda, the company would have had a chance.
