Pros
Great phone and other benefits Exposure to lots of exciting projects within the company Resources (i.e. consultants) when there is a budget Business is very short term focused...if you are really upset by a decision, just wait a few weeks and you won't remember, and the leadership will have changed its mind Same as anywhere, if you get to know some Dirs and VPs you have a bright future Great place for anyone with a short attention span and likes a lot of change...change for the sake of change
Cons
Resources (i.e. consultants) when there is a budget: capable employees often overlooked in the spirit of feeding the consultant hoards Business is very short term in focus because incentives are short term in focus No incentive for long term strategic or enterprise projects Leadership at a very high level sees Wireless as a growth business, even though wireless business is approaching 85% market penetration Behind on 3G build out compared to competition so network is getting most of the attention right now Does not work very hard to build in-house expertise Reorganization of departments happen more frequently than full moons in the sky Most people I talk to tell me they have never done the job they were hired to do Salaries capped for the year and bonus and other incentives are drying up
