      Good and bad

      Senior project manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      As the largest telecom company, there are lot's of opportunities in many different departments. Company is performing well, even in a tough economy. Other good perks for managers include free phone service in states where AT&T is the local phone carrier, as well as discounts off of DSL and TV service.

      Cons

      Beurocracy is a killer. It is very demoralizing, especially in sales (particularly B2B, Enterprise). Very hard to get things done. Takes a long time to implement and bill a new wide area network. Different divisions operate as seperate "smokestacks". There is very little collaberation. Different departments must realize that the same logo appears at the top of their paychecks and need to work together to get things done.

      Communism is dead but the old SBC culture still survives

      Senior rf engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The benefits. However, pension plans are no longer offered. Relocation allowances are only given to director level and above.

      Cons

      The SBC culture is outdated. It is not performance driven. Employees are rewarded for showing up and fitting into a mold instead of thier actual performance. The old SBC offices are dark and gloomy. The conditions are something I would expect to see in former Soviet Union. Advancement requires frequent relocation. AT&T cannot decide what city it wants to call home. The Cingular headquarters was relocated from Atlanta, Georgia to San Antonio, Texas. Now the headquarters is being relocated just a few years later to Dallas, Texas.

      AT&T, a communications company that doesn't communicate with it's own people. Let alone connect with them.

      Pros

      From the position I hold there is flexability in working hours.

      Cons

      Lack of middle managment to tell upper managment the truth about problems at the bottom. Too much red tape to get anything done in IT world. Projects that should take a month take sixmonths, six month projects taking two years. Managment out of touch with the overall process. Upper managment needs to stop listening to the bean counters all the time and see what the real cost to the business is for the decisions they make. It's about more than the numbers on in the ledger.
