Pros

Progressive work style. Open to new ideas. Creating in-roads further into the 5G carrier space. Lots of room to advance career. Very supportive of employee training opportunities. Competitive pay and excellent benefits package. Yearly bonus based on company wide performance*. *Positive or Negative depending on if you find the other departments to be pulling their weight.

Cons

At times, ridiculous timeline expectations for work completion. Irresponsible handling of issues without any nuance. Preference towards heavy handed, sweeping policy changes company wide, rather than a more regional and nuanced approach to actually address local issues. In such a hurry to acquire work that they don't realize when current workload is overburdening the regional employee base. Near constant process change implementation in an effort to find 'just the right one', only for it to be scrapped and completely revamped in one or two years.

Pros

Great place to work. Although there has been a lot of change over the past few years, I feel the company is back on track. Culture has been dramatically improved.

Cons

Not much at this time. Still lots of change ahead though as the company transforms into a tower focused company.

Pros

Depending on who is running your team (I’ve had 3 different team leads in the 3 years that I’ve been a full time employee,) some have provided great mentoring, and have taught me a lot.

Cons

Job security is extremely unstable, and employees often feel like they are one decision away from becoming part of another layoff statistic. In my experience, women were not always treated equitably compared to their male counterparts, depending heavily on the leadership structure within the department. The company also showed limited willingness to accommodate health conditions, often searching for loopholes to minimize support, assistance, or benefits during times when employees and their families needed them most. Leadership roles often felt transactional and tied directly to the company’s immediate operational goals. For example, when a department needed growth, leadership would bring in individuals with strong industry relationships, connections, and expertise to help expand profitability and establish the department. However, once those goals were achieved and the leader’s network or strategic value had been fully utilized, the company would frequently move on from them—either through reassignment or termination—in favor of the next person who fit the company’s evolving objectives. Overall, the culture created an environment where many employees felt expendable rather than valued long-term.
