RecommendsNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Alcatel-Lucent (More than 8 years)
Pros
Management is flexible if you have to take care of personal issues and will allow you to make up those hours
Cons
Lack of career growth. This maybe due to the fact that the Telecommunications industry is shrinking. Management has to figure out how to keep the jobs challenging
Advice to Management
Provide a viable career path

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Alcatel-Lucent full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
Good salary
Good benefits
Some great technical knowledge within the MTS ranksCons
The company is truly run out of Europe (same since Nokia bought it). The US divisions generally pulled in great margins, but it always seemed easier to cut cost (people) from the US to meet global numbers.
Lack of strategic vision.Advice to Management
Decide what you want the company to do well, then invest in it. Constantly chasing numbers in a shrinking market is a recipe for failure
