Working at Tekelec was great. When Oracle took over, the Tekelec we knew has slowly died. Oracle killed a great thing

Pros

The health benefits package is fantastic.

401k is average.

Cons

Network infrastructure, too much corporate overhead, secrecy, and a lack of understanding of what the purchased company (Tekelec) does.

Lots of good, long-term talent are leaving.

Bonuses are non-existent outside of management, and raises are laughable, well below industry average.

Advice to Management

It may be too late now, but if Tekelec had been left alone, it would have continued to be great for both employees and customers. Now, customers hate us, and the spark and spirit that made Tekelec great has been extinguished.
