AT&T Network Operations Manager / Network Engineer reviews

While major benefits such as Health are decent, the company tends to skimp on smaller perks like break room supplies. Annoying, but survivable. A more troubling concern: once you've proven yourself good at a position, the company will hold you there instead of allowing you to advance.

- Shift hours to cover different regions, which many people find unacceptable. - You are too tied to your position, your role, even though your work may be interesting you suffer being too specialized, compared to broader spectrum of knowledge you need to maintain in smaller companies. - Poor opportunities for training provided by employer. Most of the things you need to learn to advance are from your own resources. - Salary is OK for this region - if you negotiate it during hiring process. Then you are stuck with few percent/year even on promotion or when changing roles. Job-hop to advance money-wise. - Company is too much tied by rules that may not make sense given how fast IT is growing. - Lower lvevel managers lack proactivity and fail to step-up for their teams. - Decisions take too long and are not communicated properly
