Pros

Pay scale compared to other companies in the same domain is good Beautiful office Office location

Cons

Bad culture, people manager’s dominance Individual contributors work showcased by people manager to leadership Bad cafeteria, bad food Senior directors has influence on the recruitment, completely biased . Not based on skill , but on relations only. The roadmap is designed by leadership which has no direction Everyone fighting over a small pie of cake Senior managers and Associate Directors are dummy people managers , not functional leaders

Pros

Compensation is competitive but you will work very hard for it. Culture is excellent and exhibited and practiced from the top down. Benefits are excellent and cost reasonable. 401k match and profit sharing. Lots of training and professional development opportunities. Can advance if you're willing to relocate.

Cons

Company is trying to transform into what it wants to be beyond a wireless carrier (cloud?, security?, telematics?, wholesaler?, etc) and is struggling with a vision, resources, and org structure to make it a reality. Several re-organizations over last few years so job security has frequently been a question. Often delayed response to competitors caused by management's concern that acting would result in not meeting Wall Street expectations. Not the "happiest" place to work because no result is ever good enough and successes aren't celebrated because the focus is always on the next weekly/monthly/quarterly goal.
