Alcatel sure has fallen. My father worked for them in France in the mid-90s. He said at the time, they were one of the best run and most exciting companies in the world. They had research labs in all sorts of things all over the place. Eventually, new management was established and Alcatel began falling apart, and then they merged to form Alcatel-Lucent in 2006. I don't think anyone even knows who they are anymore.
- hkmurakami 13y agoEven Lucent was one of the tech darlings of the first .com bubble. How fan they have fallen...
- jessaustin 13y agoYeah, but no one ever accused Lucent of being "one of the best-run... in the world". I worked there, and I saw management do some jaw-droppingly stupid things.
