Pros

Employees are very friendly and very skilled at what they do. There is a lot to be learned here but most useful knowledge is gathered from the skilled workforce already in place who have no problem in helping eachother out.

Cons

The place is an absolute circus. Management haven't a clue what they are at and are a complete waste of space. HR will promise you a very prosperous career here but the place is like a ghost town, there is no work there for the employees. 15 employees were let go in their limerick site last week. Some of those 15 employees let go gave up full time employment under the illusion from HR that Optel was going to be a "big company" that "other companies will look up to". However after 6 months they were kicked to the curb. My advice for anyone thinking of applying for a job here do yourself a favour and look elsewhere because this place will not last long with the way it is being run.

Optel Group Response

Thanks for the advice, appreciate it. In fact, I don't run the company, it is operated by a strong VP and directors level. I am a visionary, not an operator, but I can get hand's on for a while as I am great in finding solutions. Never hire me as a General Manager !! After 35 years leading OPTEL, I know my strength and weakness. To explain the up-down, see answer to other comments... I am very strong and confident on the vision I build.. that what drive me every morning, that why I have invested over $80M in preparing the future that is kicking off now! I love what I do and I love the team I am working with. Let's go, work together to achieve great things.. and accept to fail from time to time..
