Good company but not for everyone.

Pros

Overall culture is good and there are some really good employees (not all) that live the values which contribute to the company culture in positive ways. Benefits are competitive. Free sodas. Some departments have great team building events.

Cons

If you are lucky enough to work for a good group and good manager, then great. If not, you are challenged as opportunities for advancement are far and few between, especially at the lower, non-managerial levels. Employees are tasked with getting more and more done with little resources, which potentially leads to burn out. Again, if you are lucky enough to work for a good manager he/she will back up their team and try to get additional resources. Some other managers may just rule out team members as poorly performing workers.

Pros

T-Mobile is a company where decisions are typically made for the correct reasons; if ideas can be demonstrated to be good, they are pursued. If ideas can be demonstrated to be bad, they are not pursued. The challenge, of course, is getting this information to decision-makers through all the layers of upper management; but when presented information, virtually all senior leadership acts logically and rationally, without pursuing personal agendas.

Cons

In many ways, the company's values are used as a crutch to perpetuate incompetence. Cronyism is a real problem in some parts of the company, and some of the entrenched leadership protects its position by pushing more competent people out of the company before those people can become threats - under the guise of maintaining and protecting the company's values.

Pros

The scale of T-Mobile means that there is a large engineering group for the wireless systems. And, the IT group is very large, and many projects that needs components from both sides. So, that means large, complex, and challenging technology and projects.

Cons

Staff treated poorly by management, and significantly overworked in the technical and IT areas. Tactical, reactionary decisions. Projects are date-driven, without regard for the technical and resource limitations. Projects would get into trouble because of poor prioritization and unrealistic expectations, then the PM would get thrown under the bus. Revolving door of contract resources led to the feeling of instability.
