Pros

It's a very good company to learn all the new stuff that is coming for the mobile networks. The team I was working with was awesome, we were a family and help each other to move forward and reach our goals.

Cons

Whenever you least expected they will remove your position with no notice, regardless on your good performance. Company prefers save money than enhance customer relation with good assets.

Great Health Benefits, Questionable Management

Business Outlook

Pros

The vacation policy and Health benefits are pretty good. In addition to vacation days, you also get Personal Business days, Kin Care days, and even a Volunteer day.

Cons

Some of the management decisions are questionable. Often it doesn't seem like the left hand knows what the right hand is doing. They spent months and untold millions of dollars to turn a building with perfectly acceptable offices in the Piscataway complex into one with open seating in order to ostensibly consolidate its real estate footprint, but then ended up laying off a huge chunk of the staff before even moving them in.
