Ciena Senior Associate Project/Program Management reviews

*Opportunities for upward movement aren't easy to be considered for even if, you're considered a top performer *If your position is created, you're at risk for lay off. *Two weeks notice is given in advance of layoff to look for internal roles but the opportunities aren't there. Overall not a bad company to work for

Mid-level managers (Dir/Sr. Dir) in some parts of the organization, esp. North America, are only focused on personal benefits and protecting their seat. Some don't even have the necessay qualifications or experience to be in these roles. They are getting by via misdirection, causing confusion and delays. They are so well fed, they know they are unemployable elsewhere. They are a liability to the firm. Consequently there is little to no growth opportunities and career reviews are used as a way to demotivate and hold people down. using flimsy excuses to deny bonus or other other benefits.
