Very good place to work for engineers, focused and engaging, but management has amateur skills.

Business Outlook

Pros

Very good place to work for engineers, focused and engaging, results oriented. Especially good during formatuve years, as they provide good training and soon practice to help build professional engineering skills.

Cons

Unfortunately enough for the good engineering workforce, management is often populated with overpromoted engineers that struggle heavily with the Peter's Principle syndrom.

Great place to work and learn, but hard to advance in your career

Network engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of telecom networking knowledge Flexible hours Fair compensation Lots of worldwide connections possible Great for people with families and children - lots of extras and benefits

Cons

Mid-level management not so great If you have novel ideas, forget it - almost impossible to reach the decision-making level of management, and even harder to get assigned time for prototyping. I've seen to many great people with brilliant ideas failing to achieve anything, because of management unresponsive and uninterested in innovation. Overall, not too competitive Not so great for singles - less benefits
