Pros

work from home/ hybrid, decent pay and benefits

Cons

Senior execs have made several terrible decisions (heck board made a terrible decision hiring Hans, who made MEC a focus, etc.) and company has gone downhill since, with stock and profits as proof to support this. Company seems far more interested in social causes and political correctness than making money for the shareholder. Again, stock price and balance sheet reflect this. Anecdotally, it seems if you don't fit into (or better, not fit) a certain demographic, your career path is greatly limited (as well as your chances of getting a job). Personally, I've experienced times where lesser qualified candidates were given a role over better candidates, and I, myself, was chastised for having a team that was "not minority enough" and instructed by my manager that I *must* hire a female (specifically) next time, even if it took much longer to find a qualified candidate.

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.
