Pros

Not being Unemployed & Homeless. ( getting a paycheck).

Cons

There is an increasing Trend now in Engineering ( June 2022 ), where Employees that are *supposed to* be on Vacation are increasingly checking in on Conference Calls, Slack Messages, Emails, Reports, DURING THEIR TIME OFF/ SCHEDULED VACATION. The whole Point of Vacation Time is to DISCONNECT from the ALWAYS ON, BURNOUT Culture that is being fostered by Leadership at Verizon. Don’t be Fooled, it is becoming all about the Metrics, Reports and 100 MPH+ Productivity - without Regard or Respect for Employees Vacation Time or Personal Time Away.

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.
