Pros
Pay and benefits currently offered are very good at the current time. Of course, this could change as the company separates further from AT&T. Diversity is promoted here. Many opportunities for learning are available.
Cons
I think there are some hard times in the near future and would anticipate at least a few more years of significant layoffs. I left a company I had been working at for many years to take a job at DIRECTV just to be laid off a year later. The latest rounds of layoffs (January 2023) seemed to be indiscriminate without much consideration for retaining folks with the knowledge to continue running essential systems. The current state is a bit chaotic as they continue the process of separating systems and processes from AT&T. In the months since I left, it's been a complete nightmare dealing with payroll, benefits, etc. The company has so far failed to provide many of the things promised in the severance despite over 16 calls to get things like my unused vacation pay and the insurance subsidies that they promised.
