Infinera Employee Reviews about "work environment"

Pros

Incredible technical talent at Infinera in terms of breadth and depth Science and engineering is valued Smart and effective decision making Very difficult to find a technical work environment better in Silicon Valley or elsewhere Compensation, benefits and work/life balance in aggregate above average

Cons

Not enough staff in the right places in the company Growing bureaucracy as company scales Too much emphasis on small expenditures/savings while much larger priorities loom

Pros

Great People. Great company. Good benefits. Casual work environment.

Cons

Many in Management have been in their positions for a long time and are getting comfortable with where they are. (maintaining the status quo). Company is at a transition point where some tough, strategic, way forward decisions need to be made. Quite a bit of frustration is brewing with lack of decision making.

Pros

Professional workers; generally a good working environment; benefit package good; vacation package good.

Cons

Poor management oversight; managers are weak, seem to be amateurs; program oversight is weak; some department heads are unfair to their staff (witnessed).
