Pros

Loved working with my Tekelec co-workers, at least the few that remained after the many rounds of layoffs after we were acquired by Oracle in 2013.

They did have good medical and dental benefits, as well as generous sick time and holidays, with an industry-standard level of vacation.

Cons

One Oracle took over in 2013, and Tekelec completely lost its startup mentality, which is what made it a great place to work. If you want to work for a large corp. with very stringent layers of development rules and processes for everything, this is the place for you.

Advice to Management

Regain the entrepreneurial spark that turned Tekelec into a great company, which was lost when Oracle took over. Reward your employees with raises and bonuses for their hard work and dedication.
