      Overall good company to work for, despite the culture

      User experience designer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Good salary and benefits - Depending on your team, you can work on some interesting projects with very talented co-workers (many of which are cross-functional) - As a designer, you work on projects that have a great reach to users - As a designer, you have the capability and are encouraged to become technically adept, which can lead to inventing newly patentable ideas

      Cons

      - Highly political organizations, which impedes successful endeavors - At times the environment is tense and unpredictable (instability & uncertainty) - As a designer, you often are looped into projects after major technical product decisions have been made, and then are expected to make a poorly architected system somehow usable.

      Great pay and benefits, but weird culture

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Very good base pay, plus bonus. Top notch benefits, best healthcare program I've ever had.

      Cons

      Monolithic company. Very silo-ed, poor cross organizational collaboration, communication. Wireless side is much better than wireline side. Tough to advance beyond a certain point.

      Company is generally on the right path

      Product manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great benefits and salaries. Learning and development opportunities. Many bright and talented employees. Autonomy and flexibility common in many roles. Great growth and opportunity in portions of the business (i.e., 5G). Leading edge technology tools. Verizon is becoming more employee-friendly and nimble, and working to reduce bureaucracy. Much better environment than 5+ years ago. Given Verizon's size, your experience can vary a lot depending on the job, location and organization you're in.

      Cons

      Big company environment does still exist, including some of usual bureaucratic obstacles. Company faces ongoing headwinds from legacy businesses along with heavy competition and rapid evolution of technology, creating constant revenue and expense pressure. Long hours and heavy workload not unusual. Frequent changes in systems, directors/VPs, organizational structures. Lots of outsourcing and layoffs. Legacy telecom part of company is unionized with potential for all other employees to be assigned to strike duty every 3-4 years when contracts expire.
