What don't you like about working at Covad?
"no career growth opportunities, lot of politics, company is known for exploitng H1B visa holders. People who left has progressed in career than who did stick to the company. Nepotism and politics plays a great role in deciding promotion and project assignments. I have a friend who managed to get his wife Test Engineer job. In a year she became Business Analyst. Do you need a concrete example of nepotism and politics. At the same time who have masters degrees and calibre got struck in useless roles."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"Management don't take suggestions. If it does company would be in a better position than it is now. Company conduct employees survey once in every three months and completely ignore their feedback. Employees stopped giving constructive criticism because it is of no use."
