      Pros

      - Company continues to re-invent itself using cutting-edge tech and look for new revenue streams (cisco telepresence, home automation, smart grid, M2M communication) - Global team makes it a bit more interesting to work - Most managers allow flexible hours and remote work arrangements

      Cons

      - Constant downsizing and left too few to work on too much - Budget pressure continues to get ridiculous -- no travel, no new PCs, need VP approval to even order printer paper (so Managers never approve anything!!) - No growth, all the hiring is either offshore (Verizon India has over 6,000 now) or temp foreign contractors at low-low rates (so you get what you pay for!) - Morale is completely shot, incentives are basically non-existent especially for management employees

      There are many silos of responsibility given how large this company is.

      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.
