Pros

- Great benefits: medical, 401k match, etc. - Great culture. HR is fair and enforces respect and good collaborative culture, and amazing people to work with.

Cons

- Outdated technologies are embedded and hard to change. - Knowledge is centered around a few folks and is hard to penetrate or change systems that are deeply embedded in the day-to-day operations. - Pay increases haven't really kept up, and compensation is probably 70% less than comparable positions in other tech companies. - No real chance for career growth if you're outside the main hubs.

Pros

Compensation is competitive but you will work very hard for it. Culture is excellent and exhibited and practiced from the top down. Benefits are excellent and cost reasonable. 401k match and profit sharing. Lots of training and professional development opportunities. Can advance if you're willing to relocate.

Cons

Company is trying to transform into what it wants to be beyond a wireless carrier (cloud?, security?, telematics?, wholesaler?, etc) and is struggling with a vision, resources, and org structure to make it a reality. Several re-organizations over last few years so job security has frequently been a question. Often delayed response to competitors caused by management's concern that acting would result in not meeting Wall Street expectations. Not the "happiest" place to work because no result is ever good enough and successes aren't celebrated because the focus is always on the next weekly/monthly/quarterly goal.
