Pros

Much of the work is interesting. I enjoy working with most of the people. Base pay is pretty good and I get a generous bonus every year.

Cons

A little of the work is painfully dull. Is there discrimination? The company is about 80% Indian and there seems to be a different criteria for judging Indians than other employees. Some of the employees are incredibly dumb and somehow keep their jobs. We had a layoff a few years ago. My group is 80% Indian but the layoffs were 90% non-Indian. (The only Indian that got it was Muslim, not Hindu.) The company is in the process of moving to an open floor plan office, where nobody has an assigned desk. Everybody has to pack their stuff up every night and unpack in the morning. (Which is why I am on Glassdoor, looking at companies.)

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.
