I moved to Ciena from Bangalore. The very first day when I entered in Ciena Gurgaon campus, I sensed very low energy and lot of politics. Everyday I worked but at the end of the day I felt I had barely grown and I also felt under utilized. Ciena India is the service center of Ciena USA. There is no ownership, no challenging work. Experience level is about 10+ years for most employees.
HR has full control, however they take step by step instruction from USA. There are some dummy directors. Each one has to report their where-about on hourly basis.MD is located in USA who pays occasional attention to India. I quit this company after 6 months of working. I thought if I stay here, I will lose all energy and will become person with no market value. This company had gone from billion dollar to million dollar in years time which show that fundamentals are very weak.
