Pros

Decent salary, work benefits, challenging work. Except my immediate upper manager, rest are very competitive and able.

Cons

unwanted pressure, lack of planning and executing a project. Have no idea how to prioritize. Lack of career growth. People who work 24 hours are considered more smart and give promotion or raise. Management does not know how to recognize a smart employee. Politics is welcomed. Lack of mentoring a candidate and does not want to invest time or money on people. Does not care about the right training.

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.
