Pros

Ability to work with a diverse workforce. Company willing to bring on expereinced tech professionals for contract positions.

Cons

Experienced US ciizens are brought on as contractors but often for the sole purpose of training H1B's. Even if you work your butt off the chances of being hired as a perm employee are very slim. Manager would hold regular staff meetings but did not include contractors. Contractors are treated as second class 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.
