Corning Incorporated Employer Reviews

Fully satisfied and have been highly recognized for each of my contributions in the Life Science. Great place to work and provides a excellent learning opportunities, exposure and experience.

This is a great job, its not difficult, the money is good and so are the benefits. However, most of the union workers work a seven day swing shift which allows so time for a family or life outside of work.

Enjoyed my time there. Only 85 day intern. World have liked to stay.

I was a Technician at Corning for 12 yrs. and was fired for for insubordination after trying to bargain for a title change. I was demanded to peform the job duties of a Scientist in addition to what were my current responsibilities. They denied unemployment benefits just because they could. (funny both jobs are currently posted as openings).

Unless – more...  you have a PhD, you or anything you do for the company will not be valued. In fact the leadership will string you along by telling you that you're doing a great job...They'll tell you that you just need to improve a little in one area, and once you do it will be another area. You'll be given additional responsibilities and they'll say it's an opportunity for for you to demonstrate your skills; it's not.

Corporate greed has run awry in this company; if you don't believe it look at the executive salaries..

Cornings performance review process is a fake..If your peers rate you well, your manager rates you low, or they re-invent the way the process is supposed to work.

Overall poor experience working for Corning. – less

Corning, Inc. is an excellent company for which to work.
Training and advancement opportunities
Wonderful working environment
Motivating management
Co workers are goal oriented
Great partnership between the union and the company

The most enjoyable part of my job was the interaction with all employees and the communication between all departments.

My husband was let go, 5 days shy of being their 6 months. He wasnt given a good reason, except he wasnt available enough. He had just worked 4 days, for various employees needing off. They didnt fire him to his face either. They waited until he got off work, one morning to call him and tell him, he was fired. 2 months later, he found out that nearly – more...  every single person hired, around the same time was fired too. My husbands immediate supervisor was unaware, he was going to be fired. He was just notified that my husband would not be returning. My husband has ALWAYS had an exemplary performance record. – less

great place to work, would go back if offered but got laid off when the fiber optic program crapped to bed.

This company is easy and fun working places, all you do is measure and cut cable to only.

Corning is a great place to learn how to be a good supervisor/manager. It is also supportive of professional development. The 360 review process is the best objective review process I've experienced

I was laid off back in 2003 and to this day wish I could work for Corning again.

Assuming the culture is the same, I had great bosses who encouraged innovation and personal growth. The company took great care of me from day 1 up until the end of their generous severance package after the Fountain Vally facility closed.

I've worked for a small, private – more...  company and another Fortune 500 company since being laid off from Corning and have never imagined myself retiring from either one like I did when I was at Corning. – less

Clean open environment. This is the best place I have ever worked. I really enjoyed working with eveyone. It really was a pleasure, mentally and financially.

Employees were more like family we helped each other very team oriented place

Despite the layoffs, Corning is an excellent company to work for. Their compensation is great and they take excellent care of the employees. Would love to work there again.
