Pros

Big, respected telecom player that has connections with all the big fish in the telecom industry. Diversity in the workplace, plenty of Europeans, Indians, Americans, East Asians, Blacks. Plenty of places you can help and jump in.

Cons

Team organization at some levels involves too many people, slowing down response times. Annual 5% workforce laid off, too high!

Good benefits, poor communication

Pros

Offers one of the best benefits packages in the area. On site fitness center and cafeteria. Decent place to work if you have a good manager and don't mind working long hours. Opportunities for advancement available if you know the right person. Most managers have an open door policy and have occasional get togethers after work (dinner, happy hours).

Cons

Constant reorganizations resulting in an inconsistent workplace. Untimely or lack of communication on some policies and procedures, of which many are vaguely written. Poor salary increases. Company has become too cost obsessive due to acquisitions and maintaining market share resulting in constant fear of lay-offs.
