Pros

Decent benefits, work-life balance if you're on the right team, and a hilarious CEO. You can work from home a lot, dress casually, and enjoy a relaxed work environment. There are lots of technical problems to solve and people will seriously appreciate you for doing it. Lot of employees have children and managers are accommodating if you need to care for them. Much better than Amazon in that respect.

Cons

Ask for more money. The salaries you see here are lower than what people are actually paid. Some of the reviews are fake, too. This company is not a tech company and they do not favor people with technical skills. You will be underpaid and your only opportunity to make more money will be to leave to another company, which sucks, because this is a pretty fun place to work if you find the right fit. Promotions are difficult to come by and promotion salaries are not negotiable. You will be underpaid if you move up at this company. It's extremely difficult to get a raise no matter how good you are. There are no "spot bonuses" paid to employees. That is an HR scam to get you in the door, just like some of these Glassdoor reviews! Training is difficult to come by. The budget is abysmal, something like $300 per employee per year. You can't even attend a day conference for that price. The tuition reimbursement is impossible to use if you are not pursuing a degree directly related to your job function. No certificate programs are reimbursed, either. T-Mobile is actively and knowingly violating net neutrality laws. Google Braxton Carter's comments on net neutrality. He's the CFO. T-Mobile's latest rate plan is not good for consumers. It's really disappointing given all of the amazing things we have accomplished under Legere's leadership.

Thank you for your feedback. We take these reviews seriously and work closely with Glassdoor to find and flag fake reviews. If you find a review that doesn’t quite seem right, please notify our team directly at T-MobileCareersSocialTeam@T-Mobile.com so we can research it further. T-Mobile has changed quite a bit since John Legere’s been at the helm and our digital transformation continues to evolve. We will continue to look for team members who are innovative, comfortable challenging the status quo and are quick to adapt with our Un-carrier moves. Our team will share your concerns about promotions, pay, and training but the best thing you can do is have a direct conversation with your leader. We agree that the best companies are the ones that are transparent with their teams and all of us own that responsibility. -- Your T-Mobile Careers Team

Pros

Training and "green days" to work on training courses online, team activities for teambuilding, excellent benefits including up to a 10% yearly bonus (merit-based), tuition reimbursement, extra insurance options besides health insurance (pet insurance, free life insurance up to 1.5x yearly salary), stock purchase options and yearly stock award to each employee. One of my favorite benefits is job swaps - so long as your manager clears it, you can swap jobs with an employee from another related department for up to a couple months to gain insight and experience into what the other department does from day to day. I left my last company as it had become a bad environment, and after joining with T-Mobile I realized it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. There are very few days where I wake up not wanting to go to work, and I learn something new every day. When I come across a process I'm not familiar with, my teammates are more than happy to provide on-the-spot training, or schedule a time that works for both of us to do so. Above all, the managers set you up to succeed rather than to fail - they want you to do well, and do everything in their power to make sure you have the tools to do well.

Cons

There's some of the same political bs that any company has, but my team has two excellent managers that make work enjoyable. There are a couple personality issues within the team, as happens with any job, but overall everyone gets along. As far as training goes, there wasn't a whole ton initially (though I believe it's more due to the nature of the job - it's impossible to condense everything into a couple week training course).

Thanks so much for taking the time to write this -- we love hearing how much you love coming to work! Your words were spot on when you said your team wants you to "do well". That's exactly what we want for all of our team members! The nature of our business is constantly changing and we know how important it is to provide good benefits and equip you with the training and development you need to be successful. We're glad you're taking full advantage of all of it. As we continue to grow and evolve, so will our training and tools. If you ever feel like you're not getting enough of what you need, though, talk it over with your manager and they'll help you get back on track. Thanks again for your feedback and your dedication to T-Mobile. -- T-Mobile Careers Team
