      Pros

      If you're smart and are able to program, you can stay here forever.

      Cons

      There is no reason to be a software developer here. There are a lot of good jobs in the area, and this isn't one of them. If you're good at you're job, you'll be overworked. If you're bad, you'll be kept on for six months to a year. If you're mediocre, you'll have the bad employees mooching off of you and the good employees upset and angry because you aren't as overworked as them. You're still overworked, but not as much. If you are mediocre or bad, try Verizon. Otherwise, move along.

      Pros

      Compensation is competitive but you will work very hard for it. Culture is excellent and exhibited and practiced from the top down. Benefits are excellent and cost reasonable. 401k match and profit sharing. Lots of training and professional development opportunities. Can advance if you're willing to relocate.

      Cons

      Company is trying to transform into what it wants to be beyond a wireless carrier (cloud?, security?, telematics?, wholesaler?, etc) and is struggling with a vision, resources, and org structure to make it a reality. Several re-organizations over last few years so job security has frequently been a question. Often delayed response to competitors caused by management's concern that acting would result in not meeting Wall Street expectations. Not the "happiest" place to work because no result is ever good enough and successes aren't celebrated because the focus is always on the next weekly/monthly/quarterly goal.
