    Tellabs Management Level in Ashburn, VA:   (Past Employee - 2008)

    Pros

    Salary ok, Incentives are ok.

    Cons

    [1] Limited Strategy.

    [2] HQ sucks in and messes up many of the new Products and Technologies from Acquisitions (over and over again)... Please take a lesson from Cisco or something!

    Advice to Senior Management

    [1] Need a shake-up from the top down, not bottom up! MJB needs to move on.

    [2] Figure out better ways to keep your best and brightest employees...
