Pros

Verizon can be a great place to work if you have the right manager--one who understands the value of their IT staff, recognizes their talent, and allows them with some flexibility in their workplace and hours.

Cons

There's currently too much of a push to offshore as much IT work as possible resulting in a constant threat of being laid off. There's no loyalty to employees who have been dedicated to the company for years. Verizon doesn't seem to care about their employees.

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.
