      Pros

      Work atmosphere is professional but casual; Leadership is good; Benefits can be great; training is good

      Cons

      Slow to get things done; Have to wait for promotions, even if you're ready; Talent acquisition at lower levels has very low expectations, which can lead to unskilled techs working skilled jobs; final steps of merger with embarq have left a few areas scattered (but this is truly getting better)

      Pros

      Remote work, good health insurance

      Cons

      Lots of RIFs, poor technical leadership in the highest levels, lots of wasted money and resources on third party vendors and contractors to just abandon those projects or vendors in short order. Poorly thought out data management decisions. Company is trying their hardest to look like a modern tech company with modern values, but most of it is virtue signaling.
