Pros

Great projects, scope for learning and growth, good leave policy, exposure to large scale projects

Cons

1. Terrible work life balance. People work upto 16 hours during important projects 2. The point I mentioned about scope of learning is offset by the fact that most senior folks aren't very cooperative and willing to share information due to being swamped by work and poor resource allocation. There's also this "knowledge hoarding" culture prevalent in Verizon which is debilitating to juniors and hinders growth. 3. Management and resource allocation is terrible. You'll find people working hours on an end and eventually getting nothing done due to poor planning. There's also a huge number of adhoc code releases where you're supposed to make changes overnight and push it to production just on the whim of onshore management. Developers have no say, managers don't care.

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.
