Pros

Great peers. Good benefits / discounts. Starting compensation is competitive.

Cons

Raises are always squeezed as low as possible and over the last few years offset with stock options locked to multi-year vesting terms. Workers deserves compensation for their work's value, and not tied to the company's success in an "ever-changing marketplace". RTO and mandatory in-person work is ridiculous for a telecommunications company. Especially one that prides itself on wireless solutions for customers. It makes it very apparent that it's just used as leverage against the employee when layoffs are looming. The company culture is fostered primarily for the image of the brand and to drive profit. This would be fine if there were follow-through with valuing the employees, however you can go years being told that it's a great company to build your career in, that you're part of a family, and that you have great opportunities, but regardless how loyal an employee is to the company, how many awards you've gotten, and how valued they tell you that you are, you can still get cut in a wide swath layoff because of sweeping changes.

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
