If you value mental peace & work-life balance, Verizon isn’t ideal. Toxic culture, rigid hierarchy, but decent benefits. - Senior Software Engineer Verizon Employee Review

Pros

✔ Stock benefits are good. ✔ Work from Office (WFO) is flexible. ✔ Early increments compared to other companies.

Cons

🔴 As a Senior Software Engineer, I expected a professional and respectful work environment, but unfortunately, there is no peace in the company. 🔴 Even after working on weekends, my manager’s feedback was dismissive, saying "You're dumb, you take your sweet time." 🔴 The worst part is my team lead, who has been with Verizon for 10 years—he treats me like trash and does not respect my contributions. 🔴 Permanent employees look down on vendors, treating them as less than human. The way vendors are treated is highly unprofessional and degrading.

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.
