Pros

Interesting work that is sometimes outsourced. Best work is in the wireless division and business division on the federal side. Work is spread all over the world so expect to adjust your working hours accordingly. Intelligent people following the ethical values of other countries.

Cons

if you are a contractor you may decide to work uncompensated hours. Extremely fast environment. Contracts are renewed in a timely manner. Word of employee down sizing can be found in newspapers and may affect moral.

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.
