Pros

Good compensation package with bonus, stock and 401k match. 50% employee discount on Verizon services. Excellent work/life balance, though this is team and role dependent. Work is meaningful and usually has some impact on the company and bottom-line.

Cons

Constant threat of layoffs. Lot of internal functions have been outsourced, and off-shore teams can be difficult to work with. Career growth is difficult, especially at the Senior Manager level trying to break into Director (promotions are based on who you know, not so much on performance or merit). Too many management layers (I've got 2 VPs and 2 SVPs in my chain of command), which leads to mixed priorities and slower decision making. Ashburn office is outdated.

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.
