      Time to Return to Principles of Management 101

      Senior project manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Strong competitor, innovative products, fast paced, generally friendly environment. Co-workers are some of brightest around.

      Cons

      Company has become more hierarchical which inhibits communication. Now that the landline side of ATT has morphed some of its functions and systems into the wireless/mobility side - Turfism is on the rise. ATT/old school leadership operates as "good old boys network". Sharing is better among those who grew up on the wireless side of the company. Everyone needs to learn to play in the same sandbox better.

      Before SBC took over..

      Second line management
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      An international company which has dedicated and customer focused employees which tried to make the company work despite the flawed senior management.

      Cons

      * The "quarterly contract extensions": the quarterly knee jerk reaction to missed numbers by culling the herd. I understand the need to cut costs when needed but have a plan and a vision so that management make guided decisions where to cut cost and if needed staff. It makes it also possible to explain to people why they have been let go instead of being a percentage. * Simplistic and metrics driven view of the world: one of the former SVP referred to Europe as a whole as "just another state" which completely ignored the fact that AT&T is not a well known mass market incumbent but a the expensive premium brand and customers expect something more than a call center and customer number.. * forced distributions

      If you are a young ambitious African American...stay away!!!!

      Pros

      Stability, company has been around for 100+ years. Very deep pockets. Spends a ton of money, just not on their employees.

      Cons

      This company has an ancient segregated way of thinking. The "good olé boy" mentality is alive and I do not recommend working here. I'm dissapointed in the lack of African Americans being considered for leadership positions, specifically in the network organizations (C&E, NP&E, Labs etc). As a level 1 manager in the wireless network build dept, there are zero African Americans in level 2 or above management roles in Northern California. This region produces a boat load of revenue for the company. I've even seen non employee contract staff given leadership positions over qualified African Americans with years of company experience. What it boils down to is if you enjoy being discriminated against because of the color of your skin no matter how hard you work this place is perfect for you, NOT!!!!
