It was all over the news in June.

Heard of several people impacted across multiple theaters over the last 2 months.

Genband shutdown its operations in France Let go 30 employees.

Is this done? What's the outcome?

Just need a little bit of information, doing some research

Pretty short sighted, you'll see this company fail over next 5 years

Guess who is pulling the strings at Genband - not for much longer though

This blog is as dead in the water as Genband

anyone KNOWs

I hear that they are starting to revamp their sales department by putting together a brand new inside sales team.

I also had purchased stock options in the 2000-2002 time frame, I was informed that they did a 1 for 10 reverse split. This left me with 1/10 of my options, but I am still holding on to them. Are these worth anything if Genband eventually does go... — read more 

please let me know

I was at genband nearly 3 years in 2000 - 2003.. I purchased stock options, some were purchased back. Does anyone know if they have any value? I know the company is still privately owned. Thanks

Dear Anonymous Customer Service, You are definitely one of the lucky ones. Not only did you survive the Nortel layoffs and get those one or two highly controversial bonuses durings Ch 11 but you made it last long enough at Genband to be shown the... — read more 

Getting laid off from Genband was one of the best things to happen to me. I got a fair serverace based on my many years at Nortel, I left the pressure cooker, got some nice contracting gigs where thngs are being built and not torn down AND got more... — read more 

In addition to the Bora-Bora / Four Seasons outing, GB conducted a lavish off site sales meeting at a Scottsdale, AZ resort the previous week. Hundreds of employees involved in sales and supporting roles participated. This behavior has been taking... — read more

continue: Can anyone confirm if those layoffs were in Mexico, Brazil or Miami/Ft. Lauderdale?

Hello, I'm hearing there were layoffs at Genband's Latin America sales operations in June or July. Can anyone confirm?

Such a small company with so many CXO, so many managers, ridiculous!

I do not see why you guys see all in negative light - Genband is a good company if compared to other places where I worked before. Yes, layoffs happen but workforce reduction is something that all companies engage in...

Here we go again

It's not getting better. Another layoff is about to occur following very soft 2Q12 sales but this should come as no surprise as sales are around 1/2 of their origional plan. As stated in my earlier posting, use this time wisely (to find another job)... — read more 

I heard as well as the packet line gateway, the c15 development team has been pretty much disbanded. Anyone able to confirm that?

The only regret is working so hard for it.

No longer a Genbander...

Too funny....Casper the Ghost. Totally agree the GENBAND support is lacking. Wish I would have met that AAA, anybody know where he is today?

I could not agree more with the comment from "Looking for Legacy GENBAND" on bringing that guy back. He took ownership and made things happen even when his team should not but he was all about getting it done and keeping us happy. The CEO definitely... — read more

@anonymous2, the reason customers still do business with this company is only because they are not yet ready to transform their networks. When they do it will be Metaswitch and Sonus who win the business. Watch what the company does when they lose... — read more 

Genband only care about the executives and their so called IPO. Mark my words, they will be bankrupt before Christmas 2012. A company can sell "boxes" as long as service and support is provided after the sell. GB only cares about the dollar and... — read more 

Genband's recent layoff, the week ending 4/20/12, negatively impacted 20-30% of their employees. Product engineering in China as well as employees in Europe and the US were affected. It also appears that Genband is retreating from their Packet Line... — read more
