"Good flexible company"

What do you like about working at Telcordia Technologies?

"Telcordia is a large company and since it has grown smaller in recent years, the staffing is lean and the remaining professionals are top-notch. If you are a young person, or relatively new in your field, Telcordia is a good place for you because you will have access to experienced mentors. The flip side of this is the fact that there are few other people at your level and possibly age group. Excellent flexibility! The company is very good for people who have families, because of the flexibility with hours, telecommuting, and leave."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Telcordia needs employees who can work with little oversight, so present yourself as an independent and self-disciplined professional."

What don't you like about working at Telcordia Technologies?

"There is not much social interaction at Telcordia, perhaps because the employees tend to be late-career people with families. This was fine with me, but may bother some people, especially if you move here for the job or otherwise hope to meet friends at work. Another negative is working indefinitely as a consultant with no benefits, but with as much responsibility and work as the permanent employees."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Consultants should be given permanent employment offers after a short evaluation period (not several years). I understand that there is no head-count allocated by corporate, yet there are ample funds for consulting, so mid-level managers must make do. However, executive management needs to see the writing on the wall about what this costs, both monetarily and in terms of inefficiency due to staff changes and losing employees like myself who leave Telcordia for positions with benefits and stability. Permanency also gives employees more ownership of their work and allows for greater teamwork and accountability. The current situation benefits only the staffing agencies. Furthermore, because people now only stay in a job for a year or 2, it no longer makes sense to have the 2-year consulting schedule, anyway."
