Pros

Global reach. Pay you on time.

Cons

Verizon Netherlands does not care for the its people. The HR department is there to protect the company from it's employees. There is zero culture of empathy. Verizon promotes people into manager roles without a second though to the ability to actually manage people. Managers are occupied with meeting team targets. Lack of ownership by supporting departments. Many manual processes. Sales lead organization.

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.
