Pros

Coworkers are very friendly and like family. Working there is relaxed and you put in your typical 40 hours per week. Unlike other places where they claim a great culture and work environment, but hide the fact, that they always expect you to work overtime without pay.

Cons

Depending on the department this is not a pure software house, where you only spend time with a large amount of developers. So for beginners who are very hungry and are looking for a competitive, fast pace environment like Silicon Valley, this is not the place. But you'll have a great work-life balance.

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.
