Verizon reviews

Very short-term company with a very short-term strategy of making as much cash as possible in the shortest timeframe. No real long term strategy. Leadership not knowledgeable of technology or direction things will go beyond 5 years. Very short-sighted business model and management of employees. Very afraid of unions, giving short-term benefits vs. any real long term stability.

One potential con of working at the company is the perceived lack of diversity within the leadership of the technology department. Specifically, it has been noted that the director, managers, and VP of the department are all from the same ethnic background. This has led to perceptions among some employees that career advancement opportunities may be influenced by racial or ethnic affinity. Additionally, during periods of layoffs, there have been concerns that decisions may disproportionately affect employees who do not share the same ethnic background as the managers. Furthermore, the company has been outsourcing jobs to India, which can raise concerns about job security for local employees. These perceptions can impact overall morale and the sense of fairness within the team.
