Pros

1. Good Leave policies 2. Freedom to explore the domain and provide suggestions 3. Good compensation in terms of only share amount and 100% variable pay out everytime 4. Women employees have better work benefits. Good travel support, and leave, WFH benefits 5. Organization on the whole takes good care of the well being of the employees. The perks given are really good.

Cons

1. Workflow is not beneficial for the developers which might affect the learning progress. If you are an aspiring to become a technical expert, this is not the place. 2. Most of the technical job is taken care by the vendors as per the directions from the leadership which leaves the full time employees with very minimal technical knowledge exposure. 3. The Agile methodology implemented in the GTS org structure is one of the worst where nobody has control on what work is done and when. 4. With people getting promoted prematurely to the leadership roles, there is no clarity for folks on guiding the team to a combined victory. 5. Hikes are good, but the revised policies adds majority of the hike percentage into the variable pay instead of the basic pay which keeps a check on employees who decides to part away from the organization in middle of a year or even completed 11 months of the year as they become inelogible to get the variable pay.

Pros

Great pay, great benefits. I had the ability to work remotely and hybrid during my 25 years. Had mostly good experiences and appreciate the time I worked there.

Cons

Unexpected layoffs, but those are pretty common these days.

Pros

Compensation is competitive but you will work very hard for it. Culture is excellent and exhibited and practiced from the top down. Benefits are excellent and cost reasonable. 401k match and profit sharing. Lots of training and professional development opportunities. Can advance if you're willing to relocate.

Cons

Company is trying to transform into what it wants to be beyond a wireless carrier (cloud?, security?, telematics?, wholesaler?, etc) and is struggling with a vision, resources, and org structure to make it a reality. Several re-organizations over last few years so job security has frequently been a question. Often delayed response to competitors caused by management's concern that acting would result in not meeting Wall Street expectations. Not the "happiest" place to work because no result is ever good enough and successes aren't celebrated because the focus is always on the next weekly/monthly/quarterly goal.
