Pros

Verizon is pursuing is pretty advanced technologies, going in to some new areas like IoT. The pay is high, even relative to other tech companies. Good work/life balance, most of the time.

Cons

Directors and managers have a tendency to yell, but mostly at each other. Verizon is having trouble attracting senior talent. None of the extras you get in newer tech companies. Lots of bureaucracy -- So many policy training videos.

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.
