Pros

You get very good overall exposure from working on well spread application and dealing with all kind of people. Verizon keep updated with latest technology

Cons

Sometimes unfair to its employees. Speaking from my personal opinion - there was a recent change in management in our group and so the new boss brought along his own team with him. From the very start he was indeifferent to some of the existing members and when it was time for RIF, couple of existing guys had to go. I was not even given a chance to prove mysef and no old references were taken into account. It feels like all these years of working for verizon went down the drain.

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.
