Pros

AT&T management likes to make make sure that you are satified with the projects you are working on and that the company's mission plan fits in with your personal career goals and ambitions. I have received a lot of training during my career with AT&T and realized how far I have come since I started working here. The freedom to create work on good projects as a Software Engineer is correlated with the amibitions and energy you put into it. I have been proud to be a part of a large team that puts out projects we could not have done without the training and suppport management has given.

Cons

Pros

Development opportunities. AT&T offers several college recruiting programs like general internships, leadership development, summer management, financial leadership & sales apprenticeships. AT&T employees receive a competitive and comprehensive benefits package that is designed to provide protection, security & value. AT&T offers tuition aid to help eligible employees with their professional development. These funds can be used to help cover the cost of qualified educational expenses approved by the company.

Cons

The problem at AT&T is that when getting their numbers and quotas, they forget they are dealing with humans and not robots. They claim they have a tough time getting skilled workers,

Pros

Decent compensation, decent benefits, pension (although making it to retirement is unlikely)

Cons

In IT, no outside hiring has been allowed for years. So, as people leave, the jobs can only be filled by internal people from other teams who are considered "releasable" by their supervisors. The only people considered releasable are the people that the supervisor would rather get rid of. Therefore, the caliber of people has gone way down and there's no way to improve it. You can and will be outsourced at some point. Employees are very expendable and treated as such. Without exception, a great majority of the hours on a project are consumed by the "process", rather than by the real work. A small project ( say, <200 hours ) requires approximately 25 documents.
