Pros

Excellent total compensation of pay and benefits. Many opportunities to move within such a large company - if you can get an interview. Friends and colleagues in the Wireless business unit were much happier with the work environment. I just could not get there before I got caught in a layoff. It is exciting to learn about the company's vision, direction and how it is using technology to make life better for people. I would recommend Verizon, but only the Wireless business unit.

Cons

Experience in Enterprise was difficult due to constant reorganizations, headcount reductions and terrible leadership. They liked to use the term "leadership" in place of "management" (ex: "leadership team"), but the first and second line management of my organization did not qualify as "leaders". It seemed like the directors cared more about their bonuses than their people.

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.
