      Pros

      - easy to get hired (interviews are pretty dumb) - decent salary - decent benefits

      Cons

      I've worked at 6 other companies before coming to TELUS and this company has the worst form of all kinds of office politics and corporate bureaucracy. Starting from the CEO (being the most incompetent), the company has blown up billions of dollars and failed many many projects (e.g. CRM, and TV). I can't think of any project that they took on that actually completed and became successful. I've seen many good managers/directors got fired because of the politics, and seen HR recruiters promoted to manage a team of engineers. I've seen many disgruntled colleagues who left the company, got better jobs elsewhere and are much happier now. I think TELUS really needs a new CEO and a new direction - if it's managed the same way as it was back in 1980, you know it's not going to be around for very long.

      Nice work environment

      Pros

      Great work environment, many new hires who are friendly and helpful. Managers are also very supporting.

      Cons

      Pay is obviously not as high as other companies like Microsoft or Amazon. Working on large scale projects is frustrating.
