Pros

Working with the Leading Edge technology keeps skills fresh and cutting edge. It also creates and environment that promotes constant learning.

Cons

So far I have not noticed much cons other than the limited though and direction of the company as a whole. The purchase of Nortel got them into a whole new market, but it looks like they are not going to take advantage of the legacy product that has been doing soo well.

The company is getting slower as it grows

Pros

Good compensation, good people to work with. The technology we work with is great, the customers are good to work with. The company has good benefit plans.

Cons

Too much offshoring of support to save support cost is driving customers away. There is breakdown between communication of leadership in different parts of the business and the world. Upper management is caught up putting out fires rather than helping the business improve. The company just brought on many more employees from Nortel. Some of the upper management is changing, I hope this leads to better more agressive direction.
