Pros

There is some stability and productive work to be had if you get into the right area at the right time.

Cons

Senior management runs T-Mobile like a new, small company. Lots of instabiliity, injustice, and changing of people's status daily. Managers can act arbitrariliy and ruin the careers of the innocent with impunity. People are driven by self interest rather than the common one. Pay is substandard within high-tech. Many days one doesn't know whether to laugh or cry at the dysfunctionality all around.

Pros

I worked 6 years there, had 3 diffrent postions with T-Mobile Engineering at FSC (HQ) - Looks good on your resume. - Well-known local high tech company. - Flexible work hours. - Open and casual corporate culture. - Ability to work at home. - Offices located in Bellevue (Factoria area) easy to access from I90 and I405. - Free covered parking. - Cheap employee phone service. - Decent benefits. - Very good vacation package. - Free sodas and coffee.

Cons

The Walmart approach to the wireless. - Extremely political. - High stress level is very high at least in T-Mobile Engineering. - Moral is extremely low due to pending sellout. - Poor decision making by lower and upper managment. - No on-call compensation. - Lack of recognition - No raises even to match inflation rate. - Compensation is poor. - Unpaid overtime. - Endless confrence calls. - Most longtime employees left T-Mobile for the competition. - Poor choice of vendors. - Butt-kissing, brown-noser corporate culture. - Totally demoralizing cronyism. - No opportunities for advancement. - Biase in promotion. - Favoritism and bullying - Backstabbing people in HR - Discouraged from getting postions across departments. - Company refers to bring in managers from outside, rather than promote within. Insecure and incompetent managers, focused on their own survival-get rid of anyone who might make them look less experienced or anyone who challenged his/her way. Under qualified engineers, causing poor infrastructure design from beginning and lots re-work during the project. In result poor network and service. Many under qualified workers and who knows how to show off and got promoted. The nepotism I have seen at the hands of the T-Mobile Engineering managers is disgusting and un-American. T-Mobile is abusing H2B/ H1B visa programs to lower its operating costs.

Pros

Good benefits package, good pay.

Cons

T-Mobile does not live it's own values. You have to be part of the "in" crowd to get anywhere. T-Mobile is more political than CNN & FoxNews combined. Supposedly input is valued, yet if you go against what they want you to say, you will pay for it. Supposedly "Leaders Coach and Develop Leaders", but the reality is they suppress your opportunities for growth if you have a conscience and stand up for what you believe in. T-Mobile is all about image, flash and show, with absolutely no substance.
