Pros

People working in the IT department was very skilled and even nice to you most of the time. There’s also room for improvements, specially if you can show that those will make the company save money. They have an attractive tuition bonus you can use for training.

Cons

Management is terrible. My manager never used his ovations badge so even when we did good improvements to the process and the systems nobody in the team ever received an incentive. They are usually driven by “visibility” no matter if it comes from smoke selling. They also have ridiculous “enterprise politics” such as no taking pictures at office or even listening to Spotify. HR is one of the worst I’ve ever seen in my life. You end up feeling that they don’t care about people and the only thing they care is about money and “making business”.

Pros

Compensation is competitive but you will work very hard for it. Culture is excellent and exhibited and practiced from the top down. Benefits are excellent and cost reasonable. 401k match and profit sharing. Lots of training and professional development opportunities. Can advance if you're willing to relocate.

Cons

Company is trying to transform into what it wants to be beyond a wireless carrier (cloud?, security?, telematics?, wholesaler?, etc) and is struggling with a vision, resources, and org structure to make it a reality. Several re-organizations over last few years so job security has frequently been a question. Often delayed response to competitors caused by management's concern that acting would result in not meeting Wall Street expectations. Not the "happiest" place to work because no result is ever good enough and successes aren't celebrated because the focus is always on the next weekly/monthly/quarterly goal.
