Pros

The benefits package is probably one of the best. Pay is good, especially if you are coming in new and negotiate. Camaraderie within and across the teams is excellent.

Cons

It's common to work 10-12 hour days. Projects are done with fewer and fewer people, leaving those with high levels of personal accountability trying to do the work of multiple people. Layoffs happen at least annually and no one is safe.

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.
