Pros

The people are top notch, and there is alot of opportunity to learn things. Ability to work from home.

Cons

As an engineer you are handed down work and expected to accomplish it. When there is no work to be had they blame the engineer, who has no part of the sales process. The company is bloated an unresponsive/ uncaring. It takes an act of congress to get promoted within the company, or to get a raise. At 3 years in I haven't received a raise or a promotion even as I have filled the spots of two engineers that were making significantly more than I am. If any of your company equipment breaks just try to fix it and replace it on your own. It is easier to quit and get hired back than deal with any of the internal processes (promotions, raises, procurement, reimbursements, and submitting hours worked). This company is only functional because of its name.

Pros

Compensation is competitive but you will work very hard for it. Culture is excellent and exhibited and practiced from the top down. Benefits are excellent and cost reasonable. 401k match and profit sharing. Lots of training and professional development opportunities. Can advance if you're willing to relocate.

Cons

Company is trying to transform into what it wants to be beyond a wireless carrier (cloud?, security?, telematics?, wholesaler?, etc) and is struggling with a vision, resources, and org structure to make it a reality. Several re-organizations over last few years so job security has frequently been a question. Often delayed response to competitors caused by management's concern that acting would result in not meeting Wall Street expectations. Not the "happiest" place to work because no result is ever good enough and successes aren't celebrated because the focus is always on the next weekly/monthly/quarterly goal.
