      AT&T 2.0 is a joke. Its like an 80 year old woman in a prom dress.

      Pros

      AT&T is very humane about how they lay employees off. The employees still really care about the business and are great to work with.

      Cons

      Shortsighted leadership, no management skils, and poor succession planning. Decisions are not made outside of the small pond known as San Antonio, TX. Althought recently some decision making is allowed in Atlanta, GA, due to the mobility organization.

      A good place to work....

      Pros

      There are good opportunities for advancement and upwards (and lateral) movement if you are within the management ranks (up to 2nd line management, 3rd line and above positions are rarely filled without a person being groomed for that specific position). Benefits are decent compared to others.

      Cons

      If you are a union member, it is much harder to move into management (within the last 5 years) than it previously was. While benefits are good, costs have severely increased over the last several years. Sales and marketing personnel are the first to go with any round of layoffs (in most cases), not saying this is bad unless you are in Sales/Marketing. Senior leadership does not have an accurate view of how projects are going and seem to have no interest in the real story (until the problem is in the media).

      AT&T: where great talent goes to die.

      Pros

      Having a fortune 500 company on your resume.

      Cons

      Employee discount does not pertain to iPhone. No 401K for first year of employment. Advancement is almost entirely based on who you know, not what you've done. Silent lay-offs are constant "You aren't losing your job, but if you want to keep it you'll have to move to Dallas/Atlanta/anywhere-but-here..." Union mentality.
