Pros

There is a lot of exposure to carrier-grade equipment. However, you may not necessarily get to work with it. There is a lot of process and procedure-type work and you will not be in the trenches on a daily basis unless the specific project calls for it. Basically, you're at the mercy of the client's whims.

Cons

Work changes often and you can be easily switched on/off projects.

Pros

None, unless you have deep technical telecommunications skills. If you do, you may make a decent living here. Benefits are nominal, more on the low end, but nominal. The health plan, albeit expensive, is quite good. At least you get $30 back for your cell phone and you get to work in pretty nice places. Other than that, there's nothing good about working for Thrupoint.

Cons

Everything. This company is poorly organized, unprofessional and downright bad to work for. They claim that to have a methodology, a 'special sauce' that makes them a top competitor in the telecommunications space. But they have nothing other than past glories to hang on to. The consultants are not very professional and the work is poorly designed and managed. Scope creep is a daily occurrence. This is a company by and for engineers; work that is non-technical (and non-telecommunications) is just not performed right. And if you're not technical, you're treated as a second rate employee. This company has no discernible leadership; it is more of a fiefdom comprised of multiple chiefs vying for work and funding. Very similar to the telecommunications industry it serves. It seems that you're basically working on your own even for internal matters. Internal company support (i.e., HR, IT) is at best disinterested; at worst incompetent. You have to make a lot of noise to get someone's attention.

Pros

You get to work at different client locations.

Cons

Disorganized management group. There also has to be better leadership in the company.
