      Pros

      You get very good overall exposure from working on well spread application and dealing with all kind of people. Verizon keep updated with latest technology

      Cons

      Sometimes unfair to its employees. Speaking from my personal opinion - there was a recent change in management in our group and so the new boss brought along his own team with him. From the very start he was indeifferent to some of the existing members and when it was time for RIF, couple of existing guys had to go. I was not even given a chance to prove mysef and no old references were taken into account. It feels like all these years of working for verizon went down the drain.

      Working at Verizon is kind of like purgatory.

      Pros

      They have good benefits. It's a big company and as such you get to work with expensive systems that you might not elsewhere. It's financially stable, generally speaking people keep there phones and internet connections even in bad financial times. They have good educational benefits especially, they will pay for eight thousand dollars of classes a year. They also have advanced degree programs taught on location after work.

      Cons

      The environment is drab, don't work here if you like sunlight. The work isn't very fulfilling. The whole culture is intensely and lamely corporate. It's not cutting edge. Salaries aren't great compared to similar companies. The annual raises are small and it's not easy to get a raise for any other reason. The food is bad, like prison food.
