AT&T reviews

- Horrible projects. The way the TDP (Technology Development Program) works is that you are assigned to a client that is really another AT&T employee and you do work for his or her team. Chances are the projects aren't that great, because most people don't want to give legitimate work to college grads. So you end up getting stuck with unnecessary and annoying work that no one wants to do. - Poor management. The managers (Senior/Associate Technical Directors) are hardly competent with technology (they don't have the technical background, etc) and are basically just babysitters. They stress taking part in TDP-related activities (such as lectures, social committee events, etc) rather than client work, which ultimately affects your promotion and success in the company.

Have to sell hard; by that I mean it's worse than being a car salesman. Practically need to interrogate every single customer for every detail of their life, family, home, work, etc. Managers hover over you constantly to ensure you're completing every step of the 'interrogation'. Despite good pay I quit because my conscience couldn't let me do that to people. So not a bad job; just need to be the car salesman type person. Also, scheduling and time off is all seniority based. If you've been there less than a few years expect to work every single friday, saturday, and sunday.... and no one that is off those days will trade with you even once.
