Pros

There are some quality people working at Verizon who are incredibly smart and dedicated to the company's success.

Cons

Senior leaders have steered the ship off course for years and employees are paying the price. Dan Schulman came on as CEO and laid of 13,000 employees without batting an eye, and had only been on the job for a month. He does not care about people, and those who have stayed with Verizon will see that even more over time. He is completely focused on profitability at the expense of humanity.

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.
