Pros

Great place to get your feet in the door. Managment styles change and you have to change with each manager as you begin to rotate from manager to manager either yearly or biannunally.

Cons

They need to revamp their work/life policies. Not as rewarding or receptive to working mothers or when you or a family member are ill.

Pros

Good money A lot of very smart, dedicated people to work with Some interesting challenges, given the new technologies such as FiOS and FiOS TV.

Cons

Hang on to your seat, because there will be a layoff every 6 months. The environment is becoming progressively more cut-throat and less collaborative. See above. Current circumstances inhibit movement to new assignments. It is likely you will get a new boss every year or two, which may allow little time to establish your value in their mind before the next rating peiod.

Pros

The health plan is great. The training opportunities are great. If you are a self-starter and competent, and meet your deadlines, you are not micro-managed.

Cons

Since we are international, sometimes it is hard to communicate with your teammates that live out of the country. No pension plan.
