Pros

opportunity to work for a global Tier1 Telco carrier. Opportunity to travel, relocate within the company. extensive training resources. if you obtain the right role, opportunity to make significant income. The company has offices in every significant city worldwide.

Cons

Operational structure from a global accounts perspective favors the US. The organization is highly bureaucratic. As you would expect with an American HQ'd company, the customer base is predominately American, and the product is perceived as supporting US based operations. The organization has morphed from WorldCom, to MCI to Verizon, during which time there have been multiple 'reductions in force'. This has sucked the life and moral out of the company.

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.
