Pros

Good pay and medical benefits

Cons

Vacation benefit is not as good as it used to be. It takes 5 years to get to 3 weeks vacation now. IT is all power point presentations and politics. IT leaders will destroy anyone in IT that attempts to produce anything. They prefer to pay vendors for everything or let the business do it themselves until they can find a vendor to take it over. If you want to do IT work at Verizon you will do better to get a technology job in one of the business groups like marketing or finance. Just google "hans vestberg embezzlement" in order to learn about company leadership

Great place for starting a career... but can't grow

Pros

Good people, nice HQ office and cafeteria

Cons

Leadership cares none to nil about their teams, culture is rule-by-fear, easy wins with the millennial crowd (remote work opportunities, etc) are denied for older practices (tons of face time for the sake of face time, etc). Growth/collaboration/comraderie are all not valued - silos/competition/and high stress environments are the norms.

Pros

Great people, great benefits, decent chance for advancement of you ate driven and skilled.

Cons

The way they do agile is a scam. You get 50-80% of a project done and resources move on and nothing. Ever. Gets. Finished. So there are perpetual manual processes in the way everywhere. Lots of politics and secrets.
