      Pros

      Dynamic company trying to reinvent itself from old telco. Depending on the business unit, work-life balance is good. Compensation is fair and at par with similar size companies

      Cons

      No stock options or RSU at all levels - only director and above get's RSU. Starting vacation is only two weeks which is less than comparable high-tech companies. "Club" like culture for promotions - right place and right team. Little consideration is given to individual performance.

      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.
