Positive Outlook
No opinion of CEO
I have been working at AT&T full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
In a technical community, you do have lots of freedom to determine what to work on. The company is truly embracing changes and transformation to the future, open to new ideas Great leadership (bootcamp style) and technical training programs
Cons
Great vision from senior officers, execution strategy some times legging at mid-level managers
Advice to Management
politics and silos are unavoidable in a company with long history
I have been working at AT&T full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
I work with some great folks. The team has been what has retained me over the years. My salary treatment has always been fair.
Cons
Upper level management does not seem to be held accountable for some pretty horrid decisions where software vendors and outsourcing are concerned. The few employees that are left end up working around those decisions but nothing changes and management isn't forced to look at past decisions or outcomes.
Advancement is a crap shoot.
Advice to Management
If you want your company to be a player in 2020, you need to start taking a hard look at the vendor commitments you are making. Vendor relationships are a part of business, but the current contracts should be more heavily scrutinized before they are renewed.

Disapproves of CEO
I worked at AT&T part-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
It was a fun environment to work in, I enjoyed the company of my co workers and having the latest technology demoed was a sweet deal. Benefits and 401k was great if your a full time employee. Union reps were accommodating.
Cons
The sales focus is constantly changing. Nothing is very constant. Internal politics came into play when it came to sticky situations. Upper management was constantly changing, no outlook on growth unless you knew someone.
Advice to Management
Company advancement should be based on performance not internal politics.
