Pros

Paid well. Good Pension. Some opportunity for flexibility and to work from home. Some training investment in recent years. Not much else

Cons

Little career advancement prospects if non-US based. Staff morale issues tend to be ignored and worsen by aggressive american management style. Little collaboration between teams who frequently in fight due to conflicting priority and competition for survival. Decision making is very top heavy and american centric with staff on the ground having told they are 'accountable' for the consequence of these out of touch decisions. Managers frequently lack management capability and have poor people and communication skills. Teams are distributed around the globe and staff are pretty much expected to work ridiculous out of business hours with little respect for personal life or extra compensation. Work here if you are happy to be told what to do and if you don't care if you are not listened to.

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.
