Verizon reviews

very unstable job security, reorgs every other month, lots of RIFs all year round Very limited growth opportunities, you can get all the personal experience and learning you want but you will just progress up to certain level, above levels are reserved for club members only completely nonexistent balance of work and personal life, it is expected from you to answer phones 24/7 all 365 even on vacations, with no extra compensation as 'it is expected' all your work relation with the corporate is thru your superior, HR doesn't exist to deal with employees or mediate, or even give you an exit interview. lots of stress and over pressure for little things if they are 'in the radar' of some executive, lack of perspective on what is really important for the business and more on what is important for your boss career and no, no promotion if you don't belong to the club.

IT work constantly being migrated to India and other offshore locations. Very little job security for most older IT workers and even for many newer younger hires. Some groups work a lot of hours while groups physically right next to them work much less OT, if any (hurts morale for the workers required to work 50-60-70-80 hours and all hours of the day and night). Wireline side of the house is treated with little respect compared to the wireless side. Layoffs are no longer restricted to those with lower skills or knowledge but more on how much one makes. Company decisions still appear to be political (internally) and short-term focused.
