Novatel Wireless Employee

"I joined Novatel Wireless in 2009 and it has been a great journey. I started as a Manager and got promoted to Sr. Manager after I have proven my abilities and the contribution I have made to the team and to the department of engineering. I believe the career path for me is limited at Novatel Wireless due to the current structure and the financial struggle the company is going through."

Novatel Wireless Employee

"Novatel wireless used to be a good work place. Over time, it became all work and no play. Management has lost focus and there is barely present unless there is a problem or they are walking you out the door. Morale has gone way down. Stay away!!!!!!"

There are many talented people, and I'm proud of my achievement there as a Sr. Software Engineer working on WiFI development.
