Pros

Great mid level and lower executive management teams while I was there. Smart people who want to achieve results but all kowtow to the CEO's whims

Cons

No one wants to work for or with the CEO. He seems to hear only what he wants to hear and his pulse on the industry is, imo, significantly off. The strategy is outdated and out of touch with reality. So much good money was thrown after bad that it's comical and should be an embarrassment.

Pros

Smart changes to architecture, wholehearted adoption of cloud technologies, interesting and forward-looking international cloud footprint.

Cons

legacy focus on selling selling music through wireless carriers and online gaming means an internal culture conflict with changing network design. Company leadership had reached a realization that corporate direction wasn't right and began repeated downsizing and building a new data-center. Network people were top-notch but their management regularly playing defense in turf battles.
