  "summary": "Ciena is tracked across AI employer visibility rankings in the Telecommunications sector. When candidates research the company through AI, it appears in a moderate share of employer-related queries — ranking #10 out of 21 Telecommunications companies in the PerceptionX index.\n\nAI models most frequently position Ciena alongside Tata, Vodafone, and Ericsson when discussing Telecommunications employers.\n\nThe company shows strongest employer visibility in Company Culture and Wellbeing & Balance.

Over that period it has moved ahead of Mahindra and Cisco. It now trails Wipro by 3.1 points.\n\nThis analysis is based on AI-generated responses from ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Perplexity.
