Pros

benefits, people stay in their silos. Takes a very very long time to get a small scale project done. old technology in use.

Cons

Company values are non-existent... Very old school mentality. Full of Indians executives with big egos, they promise a lot to higher ups and thus upper, middle management and down ends up doing all work, long hours and on weekends. Weekend work is assumed as part of work, no questions asked, just like that weekend is assigned and you are assumed to be working. Lot of meetings and inter department fights, nothing gets achieved in end. Same cycle repeats over years and years.

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.
