Pros

Salary seems to be good for some positions. Time off is great - 20 days for a employee with 10 years plus 3 floating holidays plus 5 kincare days plus 1 volunteer day plus 3 personal business days plus 5 sick days. If you like relocation, the available jobs will give you plenty of opportunity to relocate. They do offer a bonus that is significant, but you do not know what you will be bonused on until AFTER the time period for the bonus is pased.

Cons

Management communication is severly lacking. The business plan for the US Services group to support US Cellular networks is not sustainable. The company is activly trying to outsource as much work as they can to lower paying countries. There is a lot of red tape within the company. It is easy for poor performers to avoid their responsibilties and hide. Management only gives lip service to wanting employees to be happy and suceed. In the past two years there have been pay cuts for approximately 10% of the workforce and no pay raises across the board. The billing rate for work done for US cellular companies is below most people's pay rate, so expect more outsourcing and layoffs as well as the requirement that exempt employees work longer hours.

Pros

The company culture is great. Super flexible, remote work culture and tons of different areas or career paths to pivot into. International company with offices in 180 different countries. Loads of diversity.

Cons

Many teams can be international, so timezones will conflict a lot and make it much harder to work with people who are overseas as they are logging off as you are getting on. This also causes communication issues as sometimes there can be language barriers.
