Pros
Pay and health insurance is good. Work life balance is good.

The company is constantly in a cutting mode. Cutting of employees, services and infrastructure. There is no new investment into upgrading or replacing the very old infrastructure. The 401K plan is pathetic and noncompetitive.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Infinera full-time for more than 10 years
Pros
Decent work life balance. The benefits are ok but not amazing. Due to the small size of the company there is some amount of autonomy however little advancement.
Cons
Too much management. Lots of managers and directors. They seem to multiply every time you turn around. VPs brings in their own team growing the management.
