Pros

Big name which catches your attention way too early, Big history, One of the best in Telecom sector (if not The Best).

Cons

All that big name and big history thing has been totally screwed up by the current managers in the company. Its more of a totalitarian company. Doesn't even know how to treat employees.

Business Outlook

Pros

- Somewhat flexible working hours - Great work/life balance - No pressure whatsoever - Friendly co-workers

Cons

- Mindgames and politics within the department could steer your whole career in an unpredictable fashion for years - Stale management unfit for the role at their positions for many, many years - Lack of leadership by example, complex and heavy hierarchy involving a lot of corporate overhead - Large-corporation symptoms such as inertia to quick action and innovation - Serious lack of motivation in colleagues that used to be very ambitious and highly-skilled, but all drive was sucked out of them for as short as 10 years time, wearing them out and turning them into corporate drones - Lack of a clear reward system because no matter what you do you are treated as average
