      The government side...

      Pros

      Engaging team, excellent benefits, competitive salary, fun work! AT&T is a huge company with great resources (e.g., tuition reimbursement - look into the partnership with Georgia Tech's MS program!). With all their acquisitions, should be plenty of opportunities for those hungry enough.

      Cons

      Work is dependent on contract support to space programs, but our value always leads to earning more contracts. Career growth can be ambiguous, but if you leverage all your resources and communicate your interests, a rewarding career won't be an issue.

      Pros

      Huge network of people. There are a lot of job opportunities within AT&T across many departments. Benefits are great.

      Cons

      Generally, new positions already have a candidate picked out. Stressful. Work/life balance is a challenge.

      Not suitable for college graduates

      Pros

      Note: This review is based on my experience being a full-time employee within the Technology Development program, an 18-month program primarily for college graduates that incorporate training and various projects to equip people for the workforce. - Successful Fortune 50 company. AT&T has a lot of money and influence simply because everyone knows this company and they have been around for a long time. - Great executive leaders that you can learn a lot from The CEO and other top executives are really great people, bring a lot of value and insight to the company, and have a passion for the company. - Diverse environment There are tons of ways to meet people, plenty of events that goes on throughout the year that are tied to various charities, organizations, etc.

      Cons

      - Horrible projects. The way the TDP (Technology Development Program) works is that you are assigned to a client that is really another AT&T employee and you do work for his or her team. Chances are the projects aren't that great, because most people don't want to give legitimate work to college grads. So you end up getting stuck with unnecessary and annoying work that no one wants to do. - Poor management. The managers (Senior/Associate Technical Directors) are hardly competent with technology (they don't have the technical background, etc) and are basically just babysitters. They stress taking part in TDP-related activities (such as lectures, social committee events, etc) rather than client work, which ultimately affects your promotion and success in the company.
