Pros

Dynamic company trying to reinvent itself from old telco. Depending on the business unit, work-life balance is good. Compensation is fair and at par with similar size companies

Cons

No stock options or RSU at all levels - only director and above get's RSU. Starting vacation is only two weeks which is less than comparable high-tech companies. "Club" like culture for promotions - right place and right team. Little consideration is given to individual performance.

Pros

Descent pay and good benefits, yearly bonus, you will get opportunities to move up if you work

Cons

Things are getting worse, layoffs and benefits diminishing every year, Verizon wireless and wireline synergies + wireless market saturation and FiOS penetration & fierce competition will yield tons of layoffs in the future

Pros

Interesting technical work, challenging assignments, and had chance to work with highly talented colleagues.

Cons

- Physical working environment sometimes made it difficult to concentrate and be productive at times, as company tried to practice a "common shared space development environment", where noise and telephone conversations from too tightly spaced colleagues made working a challenging daily experience.
