Pros

None. They are irrelevant in the industry and they don't care about their employees.

Cons

I was headhunted by an Airspan recruiter who told me they need to urgently fill the position. At the time I had 2 months left on contract with my previous employer. I went through the interview process where I was told again that they need to fill the position ASAP and they cannot wait 2 months for me but they did offer me a much higher salary. They sent me a contract offer which I signed and within a couple working days they inform me that the position is closed due to restructure and they will pay me only 1 week notice. So Airspan HR is telling me that within 1 month they went from having to fill the position ASAP to a restructure that closes the position. Bottom line, I lost 2 months salary from my previous employer which I would have kept if their recruiter did not insist on me starting ASAP and Airspan left me unemployed in the middle of Christmas. I have never encountered such incompetence in HR and management in any other company. Avoid them at all costs, they don't care about you.

Pros

At the start (within Sales/Business Development), it was positive and interesting with a "let's do it" attitude. You're given enough rope to hang yourself. Was an interesting product line, not sure about these days. There are career opportunities but you have to pay for it in one way or another somewhere down the line.

Cons

Another reviewer has said: "Have never made a profit in almost 20 years and senior management still the same!!" I have to agree. I wonder how they remain in business. There is certain senior management who seem to have lived off either close personal ties to the CEO or they have something on him which protects their job. Their overall competence in the position for a few decades now is suspect, in my opinion. Lived off "connections" rather than capability but connections run dry. Willing to support you when the going is good (i.e. you're meeting target) but just as willing to throw you under a bus when they make a mistake and need a scapegoat. Arrogance and ego within management. "Employees are treated unfairly, asking too much of them but giving nothing in return." Another comment made by a previous reviewer: Agreed. Have "shipped" product and recognised revenue even when customer decided they didn't want it. Hastily looking for another customer to "dump" it on. Have sold features they did not have and coerced salespeople to support this. When I state "nasty characters", understand they're very "smooth" with it, therefore difficult to judge at first.
