Pros

Work remotely, excellent benefits, potential for growth (but you have to hunt for it yourself or network), and competitive wages.

Cons

Most groups are siloed, lots of politics, red tapes (the amount of processes to get one little thing done can feel like a lifetime). Too much hierarchy. Takes an act of God to basically move up the 'ladder' unless you're in middle management and you're aligned with the 'right' alliance. The typical good, bad, and ugly that you see in any large corporation. HR? don't bother going to HR for anything, at the end of the day they'll always side with the company. After all who pays their paycheck?!

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.
