Alcatel Employer Reviews

Identify failures that exist in different PCB's that are used for electronic communication equipment

Very good company with good industry exposure, nice work environment

A typical day evolves with very dynamic activities, interaction with external and internal customers. Every day has something new to learn from new ways to communicate, how to influence, make people move with corporate objective and customer needs. Management is always open to listen, to involve all team and get the best ideas and strategies for the – more... company. Sometimes job is not easy, comply with customers needs and requirements and comply with the company procedures and policies, limited resources, give the best solution adjusted to customer budget but in the same time get the best possible marging. The most enjoyable part is work with different people from around the world, interact with different cultures and learn from different points of view, get information from what others (countries) are doing and transforms it for the local situation. – less

A lot of travel required for work you're always doing something new and meeting new people, nothing is every typical. I learned the ins and outs what makes a cell tower work. Management is great. You meet so many new faces everyday and but always a tightly-knit group of coworker.s

I do like working with Alcatel-Lucent but there is no job secruity and advancement.

Leader of Telecom market
Opportunity to master
Fun working environment

My biggest issue was coordinating our group (business services management) with other groups. The idea was integration of our expertise with other account reps. It was difficult to team.

Great place to work. Supportive fellow workers. Good products and lot of things to learn.

Ability to design and implement ideas freely with minimal direction.

I started my day at 7:00 am cst on a confrence call until 11:00 am cst turning up new sites and trouble shooting the last nights work if another technician had issues. Co-workers were very knowledgeable and reliabe even within the maintenance window ( 12:00-6:00 am). The hardest part was trying to balance so many work hours with my family life. The – more... most enjoyable part was finishing a big migration within the time alloted with no issues and hearing the customer happy! – less

a typical day a work....it is like a normal product based mnc.

It was great when I started working here but management is not all together.

Typically spent about 75 % of the time developing and refining testing procedures and documentation and about 25% of the time in a lab or factory environment debugging and developing the tests on hardware. Worked both individually and as a team member including international co-workers from China and Mexico. Hardest part of the job was dealing with – more... meager resources due to budget concerns. However, this circumstance also led to the most enjoyable part of the job - inovating solutions that saved money. Management at my level and the next level up was good - driven by the need to reduce costs. – less

Learned to manage Multi Domestic Transport Networks across the world

Our start-up was acquired by Alcatel in 2008. The company has an unfocused vision and no defined culture as a result of Alcatel and Lucent's merger in 2006.

The current workforce is overworked with an expectation of at least 50-60 hour work weeks. Senior leadership shows no accountability to the employees and unethical behavior is allowed and accepted.

This was a contract position and was 100% travel for AT&T. It was a consulting position for U-Verse deployments nationwide.

Provide support to Program manager and four network engineers
I learned new skills in sharepoint and adobe x professional
I enjoyed the technical side of project coordination at Alcatel-Lucent

I have 9 year of experience in this field so I know if there is requirement of work in holiday then we have to work because it's service industries.

All the jobs went overseas to foreign companies. The location here is no more.

Management was poor with no real understanding of what the true differentiators were. The US market continues to flounder. Genesis was the only REAL part of the company.
