Pros

Compensation package is good once you get to the Director level.

Cons

Virtually no hope of upward movement. Individuals can't become managers, managers are not being promoted to directors. The morale is terrible -- layoff after layoff after layoff. It is a completely top-down culture with no regard for the worker bees. Very conservative, risk-adverse culture that values titles more than experience.

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.
