Pros

- Free cable. - 401k match - They always make money because they don't really compete for business - Pretty recession proof company to work for - A lot of opportunities due to vacancies - Everyone for the most part is pretty friendly

Cons

- They cap salary increases at 15%, regardless of how underpaid that can make you. Meaning if you are a Tech Support Specialist in school making $15.00, and you finish your degree, apply for, interview, and get an offer for say, a software developer role, the max they can offer you is $17.25. - Products will be launched regardless of actually being finished or functional, checking boxes is the TOP priority for leadership regardless of quality of deliverable - Antiquated dress code policy, engineers have to subscribe to 'business casual' environment as management believes that people in slacks increases their workoutput by 10% - If your title does not reflect your real job function (you are performing a critical 2019 role in 2005 title structure) it will take literally years and escalations to get it changed. - IT is the bane of everyone's existence. if you get hired expect to not really be able to work for at least 30-90 days while your management constantly escalates access/ software requests through the black hole that is IT - Super data immature from a 'data for software' perspective, meaning if you know what that is and suggest changes to make that better, you will be looked at like either a wizard or a lunatic, and then it will take 2 years to update a dropdown field in salesforce to a normalized value. - 0 work from home policy formally - Rampant politics and power moves - Rampant silos and fiefdoms - They have gutted benefits, but they are still better than nothing - 'Facts' do not exist, data is manipulated to tell individually beneficial stories only

Pros

Network engineers are granted autonomy and treated with respect. The culture is relaxed enough and the work/life balance is more than fair. And, despite the shuffling of who owns whom, the job (in one form or another) should be here for a long time.

Cons

Compensation comes in below industry norms. Job hopping isn't directly encouraged but, if you don't, you'll end up below an external hire due to strict internal raise caps. Current insurance options are atrocious. If you have a partner working somewhere else, get on theirs instead.
