Pros

I needed to gain the technical side of project management and took a position as Quality Assurance End to End Test PM. I have learned more about the technical than I knew existed. Great teams and very good processes for adequate requirements testing. Streamlined and automated communication processes keep Verizon paperwork light compared to IBM.

Cons

Contractors are restricted by the 4160 rule, meaning you can only owrk your contract for a maximum of approximately 2 years, then you are let go. Pay is very very low comparatively and I would not have taken the job if I had not needed to fill out my business heavy resume with technical expertise. No conract to hire.

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.
