Pros

T-Mobile is full of smart and motivated people with lots of experience from other large and well-respected companies. This means a chance to learn best practices from some of the best folks in your field. The T-Mobile brand differentiation continues to attract top talent. The company makes a strong effort at Best Place to Work by having lots of fun employee events -- some planned, and some fairly spontaneous. Employees are strongly encouraged to recognize and celebrate each other. There is a pretty good focus on career development and internal promotions. Depending on your team the career path may be good or may still be fairly lacking.

Cons

I've heard a number of people say they were considered "rockstars" at other companies but find it harder to stand out at T-Mobile due to the level of talent. Hard work and smarts are sometimes not recognized as much as they could be because they're expected. Some teams are getting pretty overworked but this seems to really vary by organization. Flexible schedule here seems to mean you arrive at 8:30 plus or minus 5 minutes (8:20 = park where you like. 8:40 = difficult to park). Of course at some places that time would be 7:00 so no complaints there. Leaving time varies more by workload.

Pros

Training and "green days" to work on training courses online, team activities for teambuilding, excellent benefits including up to a 10% yearly bonus (merit-based), tuition reimbursement, extra insurance options besides health insurance (pet insurance, free life insurance up to 1.5x yearly salary), stock purchase options and yearly stock award to each employee. One of my favorite benefits is job swaps - so long as your manager clears it, you can swap jobs with an employee from another related department for up to a couple months to gain insight and experience into what the other department does from day to day. I left my last company as it had become a bad environment, and after joining with T-Mobile I realized it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. There are very few days where I wake up not wanting to go to work, and I learn something new every day. When I come across a process I'm not familiar with, my teammates are more than happy to provide on-the-spot training, or schedule a time that works for both of us to do so. Above all, the managers set you up to succeed rather than to fail - they want you to do well, and do everything in their power to make sure you have the tools to do well.

Cons

There's some of the same political bs that any company has, but my team has two excellent managers that make work enjoyable. There are a couple personality issues within the team, as happens with any job, but overall everyone gets along. As far as training goes, there wasn't a whole ton initially (though I believe it's more due to the nature of the job - it's impossible to condense everything into a couple week training course).

Thanks so much for taking the time to write this -- we love hearing how much you love coming to work! Your words were spot on when you said your team wants you to "do well". That's exactly what we want for all of our team members! The nature of our business is constantly changing and we know how important it is to provide good benefits and equip you with the training and development you need to be successful. We're glad you're taking full advantage of all of it. As we continue to grow and evolve, so will our training and tools. If you ever feel like you're not getting enough of what you need, though, talk it over with your manager and they'll help you get back on track. Thanks again for your feedback and your dedication to T-Mobile. -- T-Mobile Careers Team
