Pros

Nice people to work with and good quality of software developers. Not too many politics, with a focus on the work of developing software. Good products, good software tools.

Cons

Classic chaotic development environment -- stuck between waterfall and agile, with middle management terrified of making the jump, for fear that it might make them (more) irrelevant. Purchasing anything (computer hardware, software) is a nightmare because Verizon doesn't want to pay vendors in a timely fashions. I've had employees sit for months withour anything to do because of hardware delays.

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.
