Pros

The corporate culture, salary, bonuses, benefits, work flexibility, and customer commitment have been great in the past. Bell Atlantic / Verizon has a history of quality.

Cons

The company is too big and reorganizes often with no improvement - just overwhelming process changes. Telecom is a dying business and salaried employees are being replaced with cheap unbenefited contractors (many who used to be employees). Avoid this company unless you are going into a growing segment such as cloud services or wireless.

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.
