Pros

Average salary and benefits. Company is happy with mediocre job performance.

Cons

If you are the type of person who wishes to excel, continues to learn beyond what is required, strives to go above and beyond and expects to be respected and acknowledged by management.... Frontier employment may not be for you.

Pros

The best parts about working at Frontier in Everett, WA office is the team and culture. You are made to feel apart of something larger and there is generally a loyalty felt to the team. Not a whole lot of office politics as our local leadership shelters us from some of the more frustrating upstream politics. Developers are given the tools they need to succeed and the local development teams are focused on continuous improvement of process and product. Pay is much better than in previous years as the company has realized the need to compete with more established tech companies locally for talent. Always opportunities to learn as the telecom domain is deep. However, while the some of the legacy systems can be challenging, the modern tech stack is simple and easy to learn.

Cons

Frontier is 120 years old and has some antiquated IT process that makes what should relatively basic tasks more difficult but that is getting better. Some of our legacy systems are fraught with some technical debt which makes working in them a challenge. The Verizon and AT&T acquisitions are tiresome due to the long hours required to complete the development work to make them a success. It easy to get burnt out if you allow it. The overall SDLC process is a bit clunky and not agile however, the local teams in Everett strive to work in an agile fashion. That contradictions presents some real difficulties in trying to marry the two ways of working. IT Senior Leadership experience is heavily tilted to the network engineering side so application development gets less of a place at the table when strategy is discussed and decided.
