      Dog eat dog & bad office politics

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Moderate to good technology and an interesting company size. It is also good you get exposure to customers in all over the world. Though that depends on the role.

      Cons

      There's a culture of dog eat dog, very bad and sickening office politics. I saw some good people being bullied and traumatized simply because they were too competent and trying to actually help their customers!

      Pros

      Great potential with the right sales channels.

      Cons

      1- Company strategy is focused on growth by acquisition with a view to repeat the NSN-BSS low-cost/high stock valuation impact. Top management are just interested in realizing more capital gains than properly running/growing the business. 2- Low ethics: this company treats its most valuable resource (people) like commodity. 3- Lost agility: extreme bureaucracy and internal politics slow down the ability to capture business efficiently. The company is effectively losing in Tier 2-3 markets, to aggressive newcomers like Alepo, and in all tiers to Network Vendors like Huawei, ZTE. 4- Lots of incompetence in middle-management. 5- Total incompetence in Legal & HR
