Verizon Front End Developer reviews

-Depending on your manager, you could have no work life balance -Constant roadblocks to implementing new solutions. Got an idea? Wait one year and maybe they’ll implement it -Teammates could work from all over the world making it difficult to sync up with one another. There would be times I would be working at midnight (on non-release nights) just to get the chance to work with a coworker from the other side of the world -An antagonistic manager I had to take time off to get surgery. I let my team and manager know weeks in advance and sent a reminder the day before with progress reports on all of my projects. The day of the surgery, I was under anesthesia and my manager called three times, with my teammate calling once. I was able to somehow reply once the operation was over. What they were calling me about was something new that came up, but it wasn’t a mission critical item. Once the anesthesia wore off, I was able to get them there information and started to update my resume. I’ve always worked hard - but this last manager would call me at odd hours over the weekend and holidays. Every time I’d complete something, I was met with negativity and got blamed for things I had no part in. You might think that the issue was with me, but I’ve been at my new job for a year and I’ve been highly successful with the same job title. The only difference is the coding language and the way my manager manages.

It's easy to get lost in a company of this size. For the past few years constant change has made it difficult to feel comfortable. There are not many opportunities to move up the chain, especially while they are budgeting for 5G. Outsourcing work is becoming the norm.
