Pros

The people have been there for a really long time and have a deep respect for each other. They are good people, hard workers.

Cons

They have had many CEO's and executives come and go. The new CEO has cut out everything and prides himself on being cheap. He comes down hard on everyone, but not himself. He talks down to people and thinks that his "awe shucks" style comes across as "I am one of you" but he has a biting temper that his team is well aware of. He only works well with men, and that is why there are no women on his direct reports except for his General Counsel which he doesn't even involve. He likes people he can manipulate and only agrees with him. Don't leave your job to go work for him. Big mistake.

MRV Communications Response
9y
As with any new leadership, it was important to change the culture to help focus the organization on the bottom line and success. This cultural change which included focusing on a strategic product roadmap, simplification of organizational processes and commitments to customers has allowed the organization to continue its success. We are also proud that the average length of service for our employees is greater than 9 years – that says a lot for the work environment.
