Pros

Excellent benefits, flexible work environment (depending on who you work for and the department - I work from home and have flexibility in my schedule), strong and communicative leadership, a culture of caring for your own (we have an employee donation program to help other employees through disasters and tragedies), a culture of giving (a really strong volunteerism program and donation matching), LOTS of job opportunities internally, the people I work with all love their jobs as well

Cons

It's a BIG company so you'll get some managers who are better than others, some decisions are made (such as reductions in force) that seem to not really look at the local impact (made at a high level without enough engagement of the teams affected), there is a union component that can lead to bargaining challenges or some union conflicts if you work directly with unionized employees, lots of top level jobs require you to move to Basking Ridge

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.
