Genband has acquired (yes, merger is myth) Sonus and anything that was good with Sonus is evaporating way too fast. - Coding Sonus Networks Employee Review

Pros

Good people. Okayish work. Not challenging, but once in a while product complexity will give you a kick and fun. I have done maybe 3 challenging cool projects in 10years, which is not bad. But it's people with whom you will spend 8hrs that will and has so far kept me here for last 10yrs. Not everyone is a gem, but mostly reasonable folks and few gems in every team.

Cons

New benefits are Genband inspired and simply suck. They are so bad, mid level employees are easily down with $10k per year of salary towards avg medical costs. In future they are going to suck more. HR is totally Genbandis and cheaper cost is their only objective.

Pros

No pros left. When started it was an amazing place to work... then tanked real fast. The culture went from enthusiastic and fun to hate life and no direction whatsoever.

Cons

Downsides: Everything. The money is okay, but the quota the leadership team gave was ridiculously unattainable so commissions were poor. Do not waste your time here because you will soon be very disappointed. HR does a good job with benefits and outlining what they have in order, but once you get to work, you will have no clue what you're supposed to do. No matter how many times you ask leadership, they don't know. Or they'll explain it in a passive way that makes no sense. I think the leadership team is unhappy themselves but they won't quit because who would when they make as much as they do? They do not communicate with the employees well or at all. If you make the mistake in joining this company, advice is to ride the wave until you get let go. But if you want to be happy somewhere for the long haul, go somewhere else. Trust me.
