Polycom, Inc. Employer Reviews

I love the job I have and love the company! This is a fantastic place to work and would reccommed it to anyone.

Polycom will continue to grow as they are well positioned in their industry. The industry as a whole is not doing so well right now but it will in the future when the economy turns around. A typical day of work for me entails managing price lists and working with IT to oversee our pricing system for any IT related issues or implementations taking place.

I'm – more... looking for a new job because I am a work from home employee and my chances for growth opportunities are limited. My reviews have been excellent. I have received the highest rating (1), which only 5-10% of the company gets the past 2 years. – less

Great group of people to work with. Management communication regarding up-to-date changes very informative.

Well managed and amazing pay rate. I lovd m co-workers, and the scheduling was very helpful.

It's a fun working environment. Teammates are very nice on the floor.

I shipped teleconferencing product to customers worldwide. Management taught us and certified us in forklift. Co-workers are always willing to help and very productive.

Day starts with the review of cases and issues from partners.
Learned different culture and different work ethhics in each corner of the world.
Better management team , we work really as a team and all re really supportive.
Hardest part of the job is to maintain CSAT even when customers play politics with us.
Working with realy good people gives us – more... immense joy. – less

Each day would start of with checking on and updating current escalations. If we had any major rollouts going on I would work with the customer PM to update.

Learning and executing proper PM life-cycle practices and seeing the results of well run projects.

Management was, for the most part, hands off allowing managers the flexibility to properly manager – more... there accounts.

The hardset part was working with many different departments towards a common goal and continue to run into roadblock, often times arising from mis-communication.

The best part of the job was always wrapping up a large project or closing an escalation with a satisfied customer. – less

Warm and welcoming, very helpful culture. The Internship provided a base for a future career in HR.

Layoffs seems to be a natural way of 'fixing' the bad management within each department. They expect you to work 12/14 hr day and if you don't you will be let go. My manager managed the team by fear and not repect or by example. You're asked to do tasks no one else wants to do or understands. Lack of direction and career growth.

Management changes things every other day and wants you to keep switching between projects. No concern for your own free time - it's work, work, work. Groups do NOT work together. More of a stab you in the back environment.

And many layoffs. Its there way to get rid of people easy and then hire cheaper workers.

Unstable, volatile, no business growth strategy in the face of stiff competition. Quarterly staff layoffs used as means of managing business.

Great people to work with both inside the company as well as with channel partners and customers. Executive staff was regularly replaced with frequent resets to programs and company focus.

This company hires executive who outsource entire salesforces, including the inside sales group. They had unpublicized layoffs in June over 200 employees nationwide. Spectralink was supposed to be sold in May, and it will be sold again. You are a fool if you apply for this or any job at POLYCOM!

Very happy to work here
Strong compensation
Great stock purchase plan

Fun environment, ability to learn new skills and all levels of management are willing to listen to you.

Engage with external customers after Sales closes a telepresence product deal. From there on there's a team composed mainly from team players from the Customer's organization - I'll be the one providing guidance, consulting and advising what's the process to be taken to achieve the goal. Then interacting with leads throughout the entire project process – more... until completion. The hardest part of the job is driving to get things done per schedule with having no authority over team members responsible for specific deliverables. On the flip side, it's very rewarding and enjoyable to interact with people from different cultures who communicate in different foreign languages, and also conduct business/work differently than what we are used to in the USA. – less

Management is not on top of any thing. Tall calls from customers you don't know anything.

Lots of meetings, Product roadmap is mostly "me too" and playing catching to CISCO/Tandberg.

They try to be a good place to work, but they don't realize that the biggest reward is shipping products that you are proud of.
