Forward thinking company

Senior Analyst (Former Employee)
Bothell, WA

I worked at AT&T full-time for more than 8 years

ProsAT&T hires great people & they work very hard to help employees balance work and life. Their telecommuting plan is outstanding the benefits are maneagable & the salary isright in line. They work very hard to hire within the organization

ConsAs is typical with large organizations you may have to leave and come back to keep your salary current with the industry. It is really hard to get in from the outside.

Advice to Senior Managementin an effort to keep good employees they went througha period of promoting employees to managers so there is a large groups of managers that do not know how to manage and/or help employees grow their careers. There is an extremely high-level of contractors who have been with the company for a very long time there are lots of employees who would be qualififed and interested in those positions rather then being let go.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Late to the game, but trying very hard

Anonymous Employee (Current Employee)

I have been working at AT&T

ProsThe senior management works hard to inspire their employees and they are working on "eating their own dog food" meaning that virtual offices are becoming more and more the norm.

ConsThey tend to embrace the latest fad in business roughly 3 years after it has hit mainstream and often jump from fad to fad.

Advice to Senior ManagementStart with why you are doing what you are doing... they why should be something other than increase profit and you might gain more traffic in brand loyalty and respect in the marketplace.
