Pros

Excellent benefits: medical, dental, vision, employee and spouse insurance, matched 401(k). Challenging work. Diverse workforce from all around the world. Good work/life balance. Great internal culture. Excellent opportunities to travel internationally.

Cons

A almost unbreakable "silo" mentality that prevents teams from coordinating and collaborating effectively. Everyone is fighting to protect their little kingdoms. Management is focused exclusively in cutting costs, ignoring the trends of the telecom and high-tech industries. Management is obsessed with following processes to the detriment of actually accomplishing goals. Strong lack of willingness to take responsibility and accountability; everyone is looking for someone else to blame instead of trying to resolve issues.
