Pros
No Pros anymore. All pros have become cons now. I may have given 4 stars and job security and work life balance as pros if 12th of December 2017 was just another professional day.
Cons
Today, the 12th of December 2017 was horrific and unexpected as Verizon arranged bouncers and hired 3rd party HR consultants to send deserving and recently awarded people home in an inhumane way. The salary here is already peanuts and people only choose to work here for the challenging and ever learning job and work-life balance but these two pros have also highly disappointed us today after seeing some of our deserving colleagues forced and threatened to leave the organization with no notice at all(immediate exit by having bouncers surrounding the employee until he surrenders his ID card and leaves the company). Everyone of us went for work just like any other day but were surprised to see 100s of security folks and bouncers from 9 AM onwards. Employees chosen as part of the RIF were called and asked to quit the organization and exit the facility within 20 mins which if not done would have led to mistreatment by the bouncers and the security. The HRs were hired from a consultancy. Not the Organization's own HRs, in order to avoid questions. It was really hard to see my deserving and very talented and recently promoted colleagues leave with a heavy heart and tears and have their dreams and aspirations shattered. Meanwhile, few non-deserving employees who only read news and Sleep and go for breaks as a daily routine were still continuing to do the same. The management is so much infected by dirty politics and all we can see is that Verizon is heading towards a major disaster with all the talented folks being forced to quit in an inhumane manner but the folks who know nothing about the technology or the work they are part of still continue to survive by caressing their managers in unethical ways. This has motivated all the remaining deserving candidates to quit VZ soon which ensures that the Organization is only left with people who have no knowledge about the work they are supposed to do but never do.
