Pros

- Good Benefits - Job Security - Good for mediocre folks. - Verizon wireless IT is a better place than communications. - can use latest technology.

Cons

-No idea on how to add value for the company - Slave driving environment, no one has any idea why they are slaving and why they are slave driving. - Smart people who do things right are not appreciated, instead of people who screw up (mediocre) and keep fixing by working over time are appreciated and grow, basically wrong incentive

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.
