Pros

You get to have one of the two biggest names in the rapidly shrinking cellular industry on your resume. There is significant job security as long as Vodafone doesnt sell out its share of ownership to VZ Comms, then everyone is screwed and there really won't be any good reason to work here. The benefits are really good and you get a great bonus, for now.

Cons

No career development opportunities unless you are part of "the club" click of old timers and brown nosers. If you haven't been around from the beginning then you ain't getting anywhere. Its very easy to get pigeon holed into one veryt narrow job description as well. Management is extremely arrogant. Human resources is completely incompetant.

Pros

Theres a lot of exposure to new technology, especially with FiOS. Its pretty cool to be part of an "old telephone company" and still be an innovater entering new markets. Everyone I work with is really hardworking, dedicated and driven. Theres no cut throat attitude.. Also being fairly new, theres a lot of support for development. I have several mentors and have already attended a fair share of conferences and meetings requiring travel. I am also proud of the fact that with all the competition going on for reaching new markets and selling products, we haven't stooped to mud slinging. It reinforces my faith in our product.

Cons

Verizon Telecom is a large corporation and as with any large companies, there are some pros and cons. I haven't experienced it much, but with all the mergers between the different telephone companies (GTE, fBA, etc), there are a lot of systems and processes in IT that aren't necessarily efficient. That is the only complaint I have heard of.
