How much new skill have you acquired here?

I was overjoyed when I got the job at Commscope with no previous experience. However, I am not happy with how much I have progressed after almost five years of being here. I tried to adopt as many new skills as possible and I was very motivated, but... — read more

I left about three years ago on my own because the atmosphere at Commscope was getting worse by the day. People were getting tired of layoffs and overall toxicity and morale was starting to take a big hit. I decided to leave before they made me leave... — read more 

Why do they prefer incompetence?

Without any exaggeration, there are few people here who deserve respect based on their skillset alone. With all due respect to everyone, it seems to me that people who are less competent fare much better today. I noticed this as soon as I came to... — read more

Something is coming

Too many people (and I am talking managers) are leaving right now on their own. People with cushy jobs who do very little as it is and get paid too much for it. Why would anybody leave a situation like? I doubt they can find anything better, since... — read more 

Bring the Ruckus dog back!

Heard about that Ruckus will be separated as a BU again. The integration into Commscope was a big management failure. Best would be to bring Ruckus again as separate company to the market. Implement a professional management. Buy security and SDWAN... — read more

Too many bad acquisitions

One of the biggest problems is that Commscope has bought too many companies that do not fit together. Arris is an old company with products that don't make sense in the medium term. Ruckus is facing considerable challenges in the marketplace. Aruba... — read more

Laid off today

I got laid off today from CommScope. One month severance. Most people who got laid off were not given much more. It was random, and very little thought went into the people who were let go, and the positions that were cut. There is no back fill. More... — read more
