What do you like about working at Tellabs?

"Initially it was a wonderful company. After Mike Burke retired all the cronnies robbed the place blind and took theres. The corporate culture is shut up and work. You complain you lose your job or your job is done away with. Before working there was never considered a job it was like you were contributing to something and you were treated very well. That stopped in 2001 and has gotten progressively worse. Best things that could happen is that the company gets bought up or goes away."
