Pros

Big network, lots of challenges, largest ISP in the world

Cons

They don't have the money to do the job right. They can't hire enough people, they won't buy the right systems and software, and they don't back fill people. The people that end up staying are just resigned to the constant failures and half assed solutions. The good people all end up leaving if they can. They don't pay market rates for skills.
