CommScope Reviews

Pros

Good place to work for long term

Cons

Nothing to mention specifically to improve

Pros

Most of the people you work with across the globe are great people! The work-life balance, for the most part, is ok. I've had some really good managers that support their people and promote them.

Cons

I've had 7 different managers in 6 years due to re-organizations within the company. Every year, with the re-orgs, you have to worry if your position is going to be eliminated. They do not make decisions on who to keep based on experience or knowledge or work ethic; it comes down to being in the wrong department at the wrong time. It is the most unstable job I've ever had.

Pros

Good work/family balance with work from home opportunities and a decent amount of vacation/personal time.

Cons

Internal promotion has always been an issue in most departments, the company hires externally far too often and wastes the talents of the people assets they already have. Lately, benefits have been cut significantly including just recently cancelling all pay increases for 2023 and now cancelling 401k contribution matches. Why would anyone want to work where they treat their greatest asset this way?

Pros

Immediate manager was very encouraging and supportive. Enjoyed working with my team.

Cons

Company is struggling right now and laid off quite a few very good people in May 2023. Wish they cared more about people but it is another company looking at reducing costs. They cancelled raises in 2023 and suspending 401k match after July. Stock has been declining for a while. This company was great, not anymore.

Pros

Fellow coworkers are nice and hardworking.

Cons

Benefits have all been taken away lately. No 401k, no stock options below VP, small or no bonuses, expensive healthcare with bad providers. Executive leadership is out of touch and needs to be replaced.

Pros

The technology is engaging and used by some of the best companies in the industry

Cons

CommScope should invest in younger talent, as the tech space is fast-moving and could use a spark of innovation

Pros

None. They have cut all good benefits and now have stopped giving raises.

Cons

They have cut all the extra benefits and now have stopped giving raises. The CEO is a complete failure and executive leadership is a joke. Everything they touch turns to dirt. Don’t work here. I will probably be leaving soon since raises and promotions don’t exist. They have record profits and don’t give those back to the employees.

Pros

There are some really great people, teams, and leaders, but unfortunately, they do not outweigh the poor executive leadership. Some teams are able to work remote/hybrid.

Cons

CommScope is not what it was four years ago; the culture is completely different. The company lacks direction, and constant budget cuts, layoffs, and hiring freezes are disheartening and make for a very unstable workplace. Executive leaders do not care about individual contributors, and really, most of the employees. The ELT has driven the company to the ground.

Pros

Good compensation and very good benefits.

Cons

Leadership Not allowing for employee mistakes or let workers correct their errors. Letting big corporate mentality put serious pressure on smaller acquisitions. Stock value has been plummeting for years.

Pros

CommScope continues to be a company with high integrity and a strong commitment to Ethics. They recently surveyed their salaried professional employees (12,000+) to re-affirm. Over 92% agreed the company was highly ethical (1% disagreed; 7% neutral). Over 95% agreed their manager was committed to ethical conduct. Other positive indicators arose from the feedback survey.

Cons

Unstable following a large acquisition several years ago. Supply chain disruptions have created havoc.
