Pros

* Competitive salary * Great benefits * Lots of very talented employees to work with and learn from * Good company communications * Good severance packages for employees laid off in November 2015

Cons

The company has just reorganized and is refocusing its business objectives since the wireless market is saturated. There has just been a large layoff, and the company is pinching pennies. Employee morale is low. This used to be a challenging, dynamic, and stimulating place to work. For my last year, though, I had a lot of downtime, and the work was dull. Our QA organization could not accommodate what our development team was capable of producing.

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.
